If Rosal is still alive, Armed Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Jose Mabanta said that he will probably offer him a medical aid.
“It’s now time to go back to mainstream at wag siyang mag-alala, we will give him a safe conduct p(–foul word(s) removed–) and we will (–foul word(s) removed–)ure him that we will provide him the necessary medical benefits and medical (–foul word(s) removed–)istance.”
