Staff Sergeant Edgardo Osorio, a co-accused of retired Major General Jovito Palparan in the abduction of two University of the Philippines students in 2006, has invoked the late President Manuel L. Quezon’s executive order that would put the soldier in the custody of the Philippine Army.
Osorio has filed a comment with the Malolos regional trial court opposing the Department of Justice’s motion for reconsideration of the court’s earlier order transferring him from a provincial jail to military custody.
Through his lawyer Joey Cruz, Osorio invoked Quezon’s EO 106 authorizing the Army commanding general to take custody of Army personnel charged with a crime from trial up to conviction to oppose the DOJ’s motion for reconsideration.
