Go supports long overdue police probe on Barayuga murder case

admin October 1, 2024

TAKING cue from the testimony of a self-confessed accomplice, Senator Bong Go expressed support to what he aptly described as a long overdue investigation by police authorities on the death of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Board Secretary Wesley Barayuga.

“Dapat lamang na mabigyan ng hustisya ang kanyang (Barayuga) pamilya. Dapat nga noon pa ay nabigyan na ng hustisya iyan. Gayunpaman, mabuti na rin na imbestigahan ‘yan ulit ngayon para mapanagot ang dapat managot,” reads part of Senator Go’s statement.

He likewise denied having been approached by then PCSO chair Anselmo Simeon Pinili, who earlier claimed to have informed Go on the supposed motives behind the killing.

“Nais ko ring klaruhin na wala akong alam sa sinasabing motibo sa kanyang pagkamatay o sa anumang impormasyon na mayroon si dating PCSO Chair Anselmo Simeon Pinili ukol dito,” he said.

According to Go, he was already a senator at the time Pinili claimed having relayed the information to him.

“Senador na ako noong panahon na iyon at nakatutok tayo sa pandemya bilang Chair ng Senate Committee on Health. Tumutulong ako sa Duterte administration noon sa pagtugon sa mga suliranin ng bansa, ngunit kapag may inilalapit sa akin na mga isyu o report, palagi kong inire-refer ang mga iyon sa kaukulang opisina, ahensya o opisyal. Lalo na kung hindi ko naman trabahong aksyunan ang mga iyon dahil Senador ako na may sariling mandato,” the legislator added.

He also reminded fellow lawmakers at the House of Representatives to revisit the mandate of the legislative body, even as he noted that senators and congressional representatives should not in any way interfere with police matters.

“Sa totoo lang po, hindi ko rin naman pwedeng pakialaman ang proseso ng ating kapulisan tungkol sa insidente.”

The senator also denied news reports dragging him into the “media circus.”

“That is why I take exception sa mga ibinabalita sa media na may alam ako sa motibo ng pagkamatay ng isang tao at wala raw akong ginawa. Please get your facts straight. Doon lang sana tayo sa totoo at tama.” “Kilala n’yo po ako. Mas gusto kong magtrabaho at magserbisyo lamang sa kapwa ko Pilipino,” he concluded
