AFP welcomes junking of plunder charges
(The Philippine Star) | Updated April 14, 2013 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines - The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) yesterday welcomed the dismissal of the plunder charges filed by former budget officer George Rabusa against three former military chiefs and other high-ranking officials.

The Office of the Ombudsman dismissed for lack of evidence the charges against former Armed Forces chiefs Diomedio Villanueva, Roy Cimatu and Efren Abu, along with 14 other top-ranking military officials and five civilians.

“We strictly adhere to the rule of law and we stand by our commitment to judicial processes. We trust our justice system and we welcome the decision of the Ombudsman,” AFP spokesman Col. Arnulfo Burgos said.

In the decision involving other military generals signed by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales on July 2, 2012 but released only last April 4, the Ombudsman said the allegations of Rabusa – who made his explosive revelations in several appearances at the Senate in 2011 – of misappropriated funds were “unproven” and the result of “faulty and unreasonable computation.”
