MANILA, Philippines – Sinabi ni Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla na walang sasantuhin sa imbestigasyon sa tungkulin umano ng mga naging hepe ng Philippine National Police (PNP) sa drug war sa ilalim ng administrasyong Duterte.
“There are no sacred cows in this institution and in this investigation,” sinabi ni Remulla sa pulong balitaan.
“Anyone who is guilty, anyone who is found guilty, anyone will be treated like any other person…they will be accorded no special treatment. They will be accorded no special privileges. Everyone will face the full consequence of the law and the full powers of the PNP and the institutions of the DILG,” dagdag pa niya.
Ani Remulla, aaksyunan ng DILG at PNP ang mga isyung kaugnay nito sa oras na matapos na ang congressional hearing kaugnay sa extrajudicial killings (EJK).
Samantala, sinabi ni PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil na hiningan na nila ng pahayag ang mga dating PNP chief upang makapagsimula na ng imbestigasyon.
“Mayroon na po kami ng committee na to really investigate on allegations being made by Colonel Garma regarding EJK and other matters,” ani Marbil.
Dahil sa mga testimonyang ito, posibleng buksan ang ilan sa mga cold cases.
“I think we have to wait till the full revelations are announced. I think pretty soon there will be corroborative testimonies that will abound,” ani Remulla.
“I think with the testimony, some of the cold cases will be opened. But again, let us wait till the final hearings and final recommendations of QuadComm are done, and then subsequent actions will be taken,” dagdag niya.
Nauna nang sinabi ni Garma na hiniling umano sakanya ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na maghanap ng opisyal na magpapatupad ng Davao model ng war on drugs sa national scale. RNT/JGC
