Army chief Lieutenant General Romeo Brawner Jr. has approved administrative charges against former Presidential Security Group chief Brigadier General Jesus Durante III and six of his subordinates in connection to the murder of Davao-based model and businesswoman Yvonette Chua Plaza.
Trinidad said the Philippine Army’s decision to send the two military officials to Davao came after the review of the administrative aspect of the case against them and five other soldiers.
