Sandiganbayan resets arraignment
of PNP, AFP officials in ‘Morong 43’ raps

THE Sandiganbayan's Seventh Division deferred the arraignment of former police and military officials who were accused of violating the rights of eight health workers who were arrested in Morong, Rizal in 2010 for their alleged links to the New People’s Army (NPA), the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines.

The anti-graft court reset the arraignment to July 31 pending resolution of the respondents’ motion to quash the charges against them because they were “fatally defective”.
