Members of the Gabriela Women's Party, a group advocating the rights of Filipino women, shout "Justice for slain transgender Jennifer Laude" during a protest outside the Justice Hall, where preliminary investigations into Laude's murder were being held, in Olongapo city, north of Manila October 21, 2014. Philippine President Benigno Aquino rejected on Monday calls to tear up the Visiting Forces Agreement with the United States after an American serviceman was charged with the murder of a transgender Filipino outside a former U.S Navy base. U.S. Private First Class Joseph Scott Pemberton is accused of murdering Jeffrey Laude, who also goes by the name Jennifer, in Olongapo City, about 50 km (30 miles) north of Manila. Under the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), the Philippines is supposed to exercise jurisdiction over such a crime. Some lawmakers and activists have called on the government to terminate the VFA unless the United States hands him over.
