“Gusto natin malaman sa PNP at DILG kung ano ang mga hakbang na ginagawa nila upang pigilan ang mga ganitong uri ng karumal-dumal na krimen ,” he added.
According to Romualdez, several of the high-profile incidents appeared to be linked to politics because most of the recent victims are politicians or are involved with public service. Romualdez was referring to the slay attempt on the mayor of Datu Montawal town in Maguindanao along Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City last February 22. Mayor Ohto Caumbo Montawal sustained gunshot wounds in his hip and left arm after the ordeal.Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. ordered the PNP to conduct a thorough probe of the incident.“The way it looks, mukhang pulitika ang motibo sa mga ambush kamakailan dahil mga politicians ang biktima ,” Romualdez said.
Aside from the incident involving the Maguindanao town mayor, another ambush in Nueva Vizcaya left the vice mayor of Aparri, Cagayan and five others dead.Then last February 17, four were killed when the convoy of Lanao del Sur Gov. Mamintal Adiong Jr. was ambushed by still unidentified gunmen in Maguing town. Adiong was left injured in the attack.The string of ambushes has led PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr.
