“THIS act of violence is reprehensible. This is a direct challenge to the authorities.”
Thus, said House Speaker Martin Romualdez after the ambush of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo was shot by armed men while attending to beneficiaries of the 4Ps Program in Pamplona town early this morning.
Degamo was rushed to a hospital in Dumaguete where he died while undergoing emergency treatment.
“Kailan lang, siniguro sa akin ng PNP Chief sa meeting namin na gagawin nila ang lahat para matigil ang mga patayan na nangyayari sa ating bansa. I hold him to his word. Tulad ng mga kababayan natin, ayaw kong mawalan ng tiwala sa ating kapulisan,” said Romualdez.
“I expect the National Police to act with dispatch in arresting those responsible for this dastardly act. Stop lawlessness in the land and restore peace and order in our communities. That is your sworn duty.
Hindi na puwede ang puro pangako. Kailangan natin ng agarang aksyon.
