Morong 43 not surprised on Brig. Gen. Baladad's promotion, says PNoy rewards military for human rights violations

PNoy has set a new mileage in his administration – promoting human rights violators swiftly and regularly.

This was the reaction made by the Justice for the Morong 43! Justice for All Victims of Human Rights Violations! alliance upon learning of Baladad’s appointment as new head of the Philippine Army’s 3rd Infantry Division that holds jurisdiction of the entire Western Visayas.

“We are not surprised that Gen. Baladad was promoted because the Aquino administration obviously rewards instead of punishes human rights violators such as Gen. Baladad,” says Dr. Alex Montes, spokesperson of the Morong 43 alliance.

Baladad will replace retired Major General Jose Mabanta who stepped down from his position on June 19.

Dr. Montes comments that Baladad should not have been promoted because of pending cases slapped against him, CGMA, and other high military and police officials by members of the Morong 43.

The doctor says that the Morong 43 and its alliance will fight for justice until every single perpetrator of the crime against their human rights is brought to justice.
