MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte denounced the killing of Governor Roel Degamo of Negros Oriental and blamed it on the political conflict that “gripped” the region.
According to Duterte in a statement on Saturday, Degamo’s death is a tragedy to the province of Negros Oriental and tagging his murder as a “cowardly, evil act.”“Authorities must start looking at the political feud that has gripped Negros Oriental and has taken so many lives, not just of Gov. Degamo,” said Duterte.
“The attack exposes the extent of desperation, depravity, and thirst for violence of the people who masterminded it as they showed an absolute absence of regard for the lives of the five civilians who were among the fatalities — making it all the more appalling and unforgivable,” she added.
