The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Thursday announced that allegations made by the Tiamzon camp claiming that security forces stole P1.5 million from them during their arrest in Cebu last month, is only a diversionary tactic.

"The accusation of the Tiamzons’ legal counsel and Bayan’s Renato Reyes that the military has P1.5 million in our custody is completely false. This is a diversionary tactic to escape their accountability for the crimes they have committed against so many civilians," AFP public affairs office chief Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala said.
