 MANILA, Philippines – There have been sightings of retired Army Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan who faces charges for the disappearance of University of the Philippines(UP) student activists Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeno in June 2006, bared Justice Secretary Leila De Lima.

The justice chief, however, refused to give details to the media so as not to jeopardize ongoing manhunt operations against Palparan and his trusted aide and co-accused, M/Sgt. Rizal Hilario.

“May info(information) na nire-relay sa amin, nire-relay sa akin, so what I do [is] ask the NBI(National Bureau of Investigation) to validate the info,” De Lima said.

Palparan and Hilario have refused to surrender following the issuance of warrants for their arrest by Judge Teodora Gonzales of Bulacan Regional Trial Court Branch 14 who handles the case for kidnapping with serious illegal detention against Palparan, Hilario, Lt. Col. Felipe Anotado, Jr., and S/Sgt. Edgardo Osorio.
