The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) on Tuesday said that Army Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr.'s statements against the petitioners of the anti-terror law should not be viewed as the position of the government.
Parlade is one of the spokespersons for the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).
The petitioners earlier complained to the Supreme Court (SC) about Parlade’s Facebook post last January in which the military official warned that “very soon, blood debts will be settled. The long arm of the law will catch up on you, and your supporters.”
