                    [Title] => Oakwood soldiers released
                    [Summary] => The 181 soldiers convicted of participating in the failed Oakwood mutiny nearly two years ago were released yesterday in ceremonies at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City amid stern warnings that they renounce military adventurism.


"I enjoin you to leave the harrowing experience behind, have a firm resolve not to join such exercises again, and we expect you to work for the betterment of our country and people," Chief Sgt. Maj. Jose Gabriel told the soldiers during yesterday’s early morning formation, their first since being incarcerated for their participation in the July 2003 mutiny.

It would also not hurt if the soldiers worked off the excess weight they had accumulated during the 22 months they were confined to barracks, according to Brig. Gen. Jovenal Narcise, who is in charge of training the soldiers prior to assigning them to various units in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

Toward that end, the released soldiers will undergo basic military training once again before re-entering the service.

Gabriel said the military court’s slow pace worked in the soldiers’ favor since "it gave the prosecutors enough time to study and ponder the merits of your case. If things had been rushed, the decision might not be in your favor."
