Vice President Sara Duterte says authorities must look into 'the political feud that has gripped Negros Oriental and has taken so many lives, not just of Gov. Degamo.'
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte on Saturday condemned the assassination of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo.
"My government will not rest until we have brought the perpetrators of this dastardly and heinous crime to justice," the president said in a statement. "The investigation into this murder is developing rapidly. We have received much information and now have a clear direction on how to proceed to bring to justice those behind this killing," he added.
Duterte, meanwhile, urged authorities to look into"the political feud that has gripped Negros Oriental and has taken so many lives, not just of Gov. Degamo." "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," the vice president added."The League of Provinces of the Philippines condemns this attack on a public servant in front of his home while doing his job as Provincial Governor.
