Usually, the duty schedule of the security detail is a rotation, and the five security personnel of Degamo should not be absent at the same time, according to Azurin.
“Siguro they have to explain nga bakit, and usually kasi yung five may rotation kasi yan; hindi naman ibig sabihin na everyday, na yung lima na ‘yan ay magrereport for duty,” he said. “That’s why we have yet to determine or sila mismo ang sasagot niyan bakit noong time ng incident na yon isa lang ang security detail niya ang nandoon,” he continued.ADVERTISEMENT
“Initially kasi ang ano dyan is, defined personnel na sinasabi na security ni Governor Degamo, ito ay siya mismo ang namili, kilala niya itong mga ito,” he also said.Degamo and eight of his provincial staff and constituents were killed, while 16 others, including three provincial officials, were wounded in a gun attack in the governor’s residence in Pamplona town on Saturday, March 4.
