The Legislative Oversight Committee on the Visiting Forces Agreement (LOVFA) summoned Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo and two other Cabinet officials to a closed-door meeting yesterday over the application of the VFA concerning the rape case involving six US servicemen.


Although the issue stemmed from a criminal offense, LOVFA co-chairman Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago stressed the presence of Romulo and other concerned officials is necessary since the matter involves foreign policy.

                    [Summary] => The call of some groups to transfer the rape case involving six American servicemen to Manila is unfair to Olongapo City prosecutors already handling the case, Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez said yesterday.


"It’s unfair to the prosecutors to call for the transfer of the trial," Gonzalez told the weekly Kapihan Sa Sulo Hotel news forum in Quezon City.


Gonzalez ruled out any change in the trial venue, saying only the Supreme Court would decide on any petition.
