NRAA PRESS STATEMENT ABOUT
MGEN. JOVITO S. PALPARAN JR. AFP (RET)

The members of the National Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Alumni Association, Inc. view with deep concern the developments surrounding the irresponsible media offensive against retired Philippine Army Major General Jovito S Palparan Jr. and three Army personnel who have been indicted through undue trial by publicity in the alleged crime of kidnapping and serious illegal detention, allegedly committed in 2006 when Gen Palparan was still in the active service leading operations against the communist insurgents in Central Luzon.

We sympathize with the families of the innocent persons who suffered abuse or died as a result of the protracted insurgency conflict caused by the communist terrorists in our country. We grieve with the relatives of hundreds of soldiers, marines, and policemen who became casualties in the defense of our country and people against insurgency, terrorism, and lawlessness.

We fought for our country and people honestly and faithfully in exchange for our dear life, honor and love of country in the face of death and hardships throughout the challenging years of our service in the military.

But we cannot accept the exploitation of the case of General Palparan, who is depicted as a “berdugo” in spite of the fact that he has not yet been convicted by any court of law, and destroyed in the media by evil forces whose irresponsible allegations and evidences are yet to be scrutinized in due process by a respectable court. We believe that MGen Palparan be tried fairly based on facts and circumstances devoid of any political or ideological insinuations hurled by irresponsible government institutions through irresponsible reporting in the media.

We are also aware that many of the casualties in the communist insurgency are committed by the rebels themselves but wisely and cleverly hurled against the Armed Forces of the Philippines to hide their complexities in the pursuance of their evil plans and objectives to bring down the democratic institution of the Republic of the Philippines at the expense of the loyal soldiers as vanguards of democracy.

We request that the undue trial by publicity against MGen Palparan, spawned by some media entities, be stopped. Let the Courts determine his innocence or guilt, in fair due process. The rule of law must prevail over the demands of interest groups in the courts of public opinion.

We strongly support MGen Palparan in his fight for fair justice against all criminal allegations imputed against him, in the pursuit of a strong government and credible armed forces.

Jovy Palparan in action!

How He Came To Be

Born on Sept. 11, 1950 to Jovito Capilitan Palparan Sr and Teofilia Hebia Salvana in Cagayan de Oro city, Jovito S. Palparan Jr is the second child in their family. He has an older brother, Harold, and his younger siblings are Jesusa, Erwin, Constancio. He attended Elementary School in Bgy Concepcion, Malitbog, Southern Leyte and Secondary Education in Cathedral High School, Cagayan de Oro. He got his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the University of the East, Manila. He is also a Master of National Security Administration from National Defense College of the Philippines.

Raised as a catholic boy, Jovito Jr or “Jun” started out as one of the more timid kids in school. He was always taught the value of firmness and humility, courtesy of his father and mother, respectively. It was perhaps because of this that his school mates always had a tendency to look down on him, given his quiet disposition. And rather small stature. Why wouldn’t they? His older brother, Harold, was a much more imposing figure, literally. But something would set him apart from the usual - he knew the right values and never compromised. He also had a knack for thinking about outcomes. Thus, he always sized up his childhood fights to avoid bigger kids so he would always win. And when he went through the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at his University, the University of the East, these innate traits and his leadership were significantly tested for the first time. But in sharp contrast to most students, he found the training to be quite exciting and, well, fun. He finally admitted to himself that he never really liked his course and it was ROTC that held himself together. His grades proved it, as only one subject was constantly marked exceedingly high – and it wasn’t Accounting.

After graduation, he became a clerk in a financial institution. However, the rush of the ROTC was more attractive than the calm office setting, so his feet took him where he could sign up for the Direct Commission. This process allowed college grads to be Military Officers even if they weren’t graduates of the Philippine Military Academy, given they pass a test first. He got commissioned on the 1st of Oct, 1973 and was off to military service. One that was shockingly different from uniform marching back in college. He saw his 1st action in Mindanao’s hot spots - the politically heated hot spots. This was where his courage started to gain recognition. His achievements ranged from high-risk raids on insurgent headquarters to the surrender of rebels in often large numbers, not to mention the surrender of slaughtering rebel leader Hakim Sali aka “Commander Snake”, recovery of countless smuggled items and rebel firearms, helping stop many coup d’états and refining Philippine military operation doctrines.

Helping the needy both here and abroad to reconstruct their lives is also one of his valued strategies. This was made prominent during the capture of the truck driver Angelo De La Cruz in Iraq. He was Commander of the Philippine Contingent to Iraq and assisting the Iraqi people in rebuilding their lives when 11 Filipino truck drivers were ambushed by Iraqi insurgents. The Philippine forces were able to rescue 10 of them but Angelo got into the kill zone and was snatched by the attackers. After that, then Gen. Palparan was ordered to pull out of Iraq but still negotiated with the Iraqi captors, leading to Angelo's triumphant release. These and more are the remarkable works of Cong. Palparan that only a few know of. Nevertheless, he does his duty.

He would be feared by his enemies and loved by the people in the places he once served because of the progress he has initiated. Sadly, the complete opposite is what we get from most of the media. Most hit by his offensives are communist terrorists like the New People’s Army (NPA). So, rather predictably, he soon became a favorite target of leftist groups, may they be armed (like the NPA) or just pretending not to be armed (like Bayan Muna, Gabriella and Anak-Pawis). He drew and is still drawing criticism for even his slightest burp, it seems. But to him, this is a sign that the enemies are being hit at their soft spots. Finally, something can be done to oppose the nuisance forces pulling the Philippines down.

Now, with full support from his children, Macy, JC, Martin and his wife, Dr. Ma. Evangelina F. Palparan, the former General dons the Barong Tagalog to fight another battle that is just as crucial to the victims of communist terrorism and consequently, the country. In Congress, he now represents those who see the true face of the communist "People's Champions" may they be enemies of the terrorists or the victims themselves.

Palparan eludes NBI dragnet

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/12/30/11/palparan-eludes-nbi-dragnet

MANILA, Philippines - Fugitive ex-major general Jovito Palparan Jr. avoided capture by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) early Friday morning after NBI agents failed to find him at his house, authorities said.

NBI agents armed with a warrant went to Palparan's house in Lakeview, Bagong Ilog, Pasig City to arrest him.

The NBI agents had to knock for several minutes at the door of the house, which is protected by high walls.

The former general's wife, Dr. Vangie Palparan, later opened the door and allowed authorities inside.

NBI agents searched the 3-storey house but did not find Palparan.

Palparan's wife claimed that she last saw him December 27 and that he has not gone home since.

Malacañang, meanwhile, shrugged off a statement made by the Association of General and Flag Officers Inc. that criticized the alleged "trial by publicity" against Palparan.

"Naiintindihan… of course, magkakaroon po tayo ng mga sektor who are entitled to their own views and their own opinions," said deputy Presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte.

She said the Palace has never called Palparan "berdugo" (executioner).

"Wala akong naaalalang mayroon po sa amin in particular here in the Palace… that referred to General Palparan as such. Ang bottom line nito, nabibigyan po siya ng pagkakataon na ipagtanggol po ang sarili nya doon sa tamang venue," Valte said.

The NBI manhunt continues against Palparan, who is facing kidnapping and serious illegal detention charges for the abduction of University of the Philippines students Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeño in 2006. - report from Maan Macapagal, ABS-CBN News
