Palparan is known as "birdugo" or butcher.  During his stint as commander 
of the army's 204th infantry brigade in Oriental Mindoro, Philippines from 
2001 to 2004, Brig. Gen. Palparan was accused of 326 cases of human rights 
violations including about 80 killings.  From February to May this year, 
human rights groups accused him of 199 cases of killing, disappearances, 
harassment, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention of civilians and rights 
advocates before being transferred again.  He's now under consideration for 
promotion to Major General  :  Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo 
continues to support the US' so-called war on terror.  She will be tried 
under a People's Court for election fraud, corruption, and human rights 
violations.
