MSEditorial Checking the culture of criminality Good reason stands alongside the suggestion of Senator Imee Marcos that Negros Oriental be placed under a state of emergency for justice to be swiftly served following the slaying of Governor Roel Degamo-
for justice to be swiftly served following the slaying of Governor Roel Degamo, 56, and eight others as well as wounding of 16.
Earlier on, Lanao del Sur Gov. Mamintal Adiong cheated death in an ambush in Maguing town, the recent ambush on Datu Montawal, Maguindanao del Sur Mayor Ohto Montawal in the metropolis, and the ambush-killing of Aparri, Cagayan Vice Mayor Rommel Almeda and five of his companions. The high court junked former Gov. Pryde Henry Teves’ petition against the poll body on the gubernatorial dispute that resulted in a standoff at the Negros Oriental provincial capitol in Dumaguete City last October.Police said at least six men armed with assault rifles and wearing military-style camouflage and bulletproof vests alighted from three SUVs and opened fire on Degamo, hitting him and at least eight other people in front of his home.
We support the senator’s call for the declaration of a state of emergency in the province which has a history of political rivalries.
