He is now facing terrorism charges.<br \/>\n\u201cA perusal of both motions for reconsideration, however, reveals that the respective arguments therein are practically a mere rehash of those which the movants had already propounded in their respective motion to lift the freeze order and the motion for extension of the freeze order, and have been successfully and exhaustively disposed of by this Court in its resolution sought to be reconsidered,\u201d the CA said.<br \/>\nConcurring with the ruling were Associate Justices Andres Reyes Jr. and Franchito Diamante.<br \/>\nThe Anti-Money Laundering Council had asked the appellate court to lift the freeze order on the Guerras\u2019 bank accounts.<br \/>\nRecords showed Guerra, along with 62 others, was charged on June 28, 2010 before the Regional trial Court (RTC) in Sarangani in connection with their participation in the attack on the town\u2019s police station, an electric substation and a military detachment that left two civilians dead.<br \/>\nOn September 1, 2010, a warrant of arrest was issued in the names of Guerra and several others by the RTC in Sarangani.<br \/>\nIn the return of the writ of warrant of arrest, Police Inspector Saguisag Mira prayed that the Intelligence and Security Group-Army be allowed to take custody of Guerra as he is considered a high-profile detainee being a major JI facilitator and financier for the MILF in purchasing and smuggling large quantities of weapons and ammunition from North Korea and other parts of East Asia.<br \/>\nOn the same day, the lower court issued an order for the detention of Guerra at ISG-Army facilities at Fort Bonifacio.<br \/>\nThe MILF has been demanding for his immediate release from detention, saying Guerras\u2019 arrest was a big blow to the ongoing peace negotiations with the government.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.sunstar.com.ph\/manila\/local-news\/2012\/06\/03\/ji-milf-financier-loses-bid-lift-bank-freeze-order-224946<\/p>\n<p>Some of the good resorts in Pampanga offer safe outdoor venues for events such as team building and company outings.
