Montawal was in Manila to attend the Feb. 21 to Feb. 23 general assembly of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines held at Manila Hotel.
The first attack on a local official this year occurred on Feb. 17 in Kalilangan town in Bukidnon province,and his aide Ali Tabao.His driver, identified only as Kobi, and three of his police escorts—Police Staff Sgt. Mohammad Jurai Adiong, Cpl. Johanie Sumandar and Cpl. Jalil Cosain—died in the ambush.
“But it does not mean that when they get out of their areas of responsibility the local police will not secure them anymore,” he said. Police Maj. Gen. Edgar Alan Okubo, who assumed his new post as chief of the National Capital Region Police Office on Friday, said he had relayed Azurin’s order to the five Metro Manila police district directors.“We want to check if there are mayors who are facing threats, but they are not just talking about it in public,” said Okubo, who was the director of the Special Action Force prior to his new assignment.
