GPH Panel Press Statement on the Arrest of Mr. Reynante Gamara, Alleged NDF Consultant under JASIG

Posted on Monday, 16 April, 2012 - 18:17

This refers to the allegation by Mr. Luis Jaladoni that the GPH illegally arrested Mr. Reynante Gamara whom he claims to be an NDF Consultant under the Joint Agreement on Security and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG).

Mr. Gamara’s arrest on 3 April 2012 was a police action based on an outstanding warrant for kidnapping with murder (Criminal Cases No. 11-3248 and 11-3249) issued on 23 March 2012 by Judge Rodolfo D. Obnamia, Jr. of the Regional Trial Court, Branch 64 in Mauban, Quezon.

We reiterate our position that as a logical consequence of the NDF’s failure to comply with the terms of the verification mechanism, JASIG has been rendered inoperative. As such, there is currently no basis to verify if the alleged consultant Reynante Gamara who used the pseudonym “Siling Perez” is supposed to be covered by an immunity guarantee.
