Retired Major General Jovie Palparan, Jr. who was
convicted by kidnapping of two University of the Philippines students in 2006,
was allegedly “enjoying” special privileges in prison the National Union of
Peoples’ Lawyers (NUPL).
“In a motion
submitted to the RTC of Malolos City, Branch 15, where Palparan is being tried
in another case of kidnapping involving farmer Raymond Manalo, the NUPL asked
that the special privileges he is unduly enjoying be terminated once and for
all,” read the statement.
According to NUPL,
Palparan is overstaying at the Directorate for Reception and Diagnostics (DRD)
of the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa. The DRD is where the inmates are
staying to undergo evaluation for not more than 60 days, NUPL said.

“At
the DRD, Palparan has been acting as ‘governor’ or ‘mayor de mayores’ to about
1,500 persons deprived of liberty (PDLs),” the lawyers’ group said.
Allegedly Palparan was given access to internet and other privileges not given to other inmates.
The group also said theat it is never enough for a
human rights violator to be detained, criminals should “pay the price for their
crimes.”
On September 2018, the NPA hunter was sentenced to
life inprsonment for the kidnapping and serious illegal detention of activists Sherlyn
Cadapan and Karen Empeno.
Palparan, who was assigned in the province of
Bulacan was hero to others as he was able to decimate the numbers of the New
People’s Army membership in the locality.
