Central Luzon militants cry: Jail Palparan

Opposition lawmakers also vowed to file a disqualification case against Palparan.

Bayan Muna Rep. and House Deputy Minority Leader Satur Ocampo said they would ask the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to disqualify Palparan's Bantay party-list group.

Ocampo also said they would urge the poll body to disqualify Palparan himself for being the party’s top nominee for a House seat.

Ocampo added that Palparan had a lot to answer for, particularly allegations that he was behind the killings of militant leaders during his stay in the military.

Expressing support for Ocampo, Gabriela Rep. Liza Maza said her party would work for Palparan’s disqualification.

Palparan lashed back at the militant lawmakers, whom he accused of “fooling the people and abusing the resources of a democratic government."

Palparan said Ocampo and other leftist lawmakers are the ones who should be disqualified for not renouncing their link to the New People’s Army. - GMANews.TV
