- "Anglican Mission Agency, the USPG is standing in solidarity alongside the Philippine Independent Church following the arrest of a bishop on what it describes as 'the spurious charge of illegal possession of firearms and ammunitions'. The Rt. Rev. Carlo Morales, Bishop of Ozamis -- together with his wife, aide and driver -- were in a vehicle with Romel Salinas, a consultant of the National Democratic Front (NDFP), a group which promotes 'national freedom and the democratic rights of the people'. The police had a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Salinas, but no warrant for Bishop Carlo and his companions. According to human rights lawyers -- the Union of People's Lawyers in Mindanao (UPLM) -- the arrest of Bishop Carlo was therefore illegal". [Text of entire article.]
