 MALOLOS CITY, Philippines – Retired Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan’s hearing today was reset for Feb. 6, the original schedule.

Prosecutor Edre Olalia said he learned from the Department of Justice yesterday that Malolos Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 14 here will not hear Palparan’s motion for reconsideration.

The case will be heard on Feb. 6, along with other motions as per agreement of the parties on Jan. 2, he added.

Olalia said he was surprised to learn that Palparan’s counsel has filed a motion for an immediate court proceeding today.

Palparan’s counsel claimed inaction on the part of Judge Teodora Gonzales on their omnibus motion filed last Jan. 2, he added.

The motion prayed for the recall of the warrant of arrest and hold departure order against Palparan, and for the suspension of proceedings.

Palparan along with Lt. Col. Felipe Anotado, M/Sgt. Rizal Hilario and S/ Sgt. Eduardo Osorio, has been charged for kidnapping and serious illegal detention.

Palparan and Hilario remain at large, while Anotado and Osorio have surrendered.
