"Duwag si Palparan, sinungaling pa," (Palparan is a coward and a liar) Linda Cadapan and Connie Empeno, mothers of Sherlyn and Karen respectively said in reaction to  Ret. Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan's motion to Malolos Court to let him stay in the National Bureau of Investigation in Manila.

"Sinabi niyang handa siyang makulong kahit saan. Pero ngayon, gusto na naman niyang suwayin ang korte. Maalala na noong bago ibaba ang warrant kay Palparan, sinabi rin niyang handa siyang harapin ang mga kasong isinampa. Sa halip pinagtaguan niya ito nang tatlong taon," (He [Palparan] said he is prepared to be jailed anywhere. But now, he is again defying  the court order. Before the warrant of arrest against Palparan came out, he said he is ready to face his charges. Instead he went into hiding for almost three years) the two mothers said.

"Sakaling payagan ang mosyon ni Palparan, mukhang lumalabo na naman ang hustisyang hinahangad namin," (The justice we are seeking becomes dim again should  Palparan's motion be granted.) Mrs. Cadapan and Mrs. Empeño ended. ###
