Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go called for justice for the slain barangay captain and brgy. kagawad in Davao del Norte.
The recently concluded Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) 2023 in the province of Davao del Norte was marred with violence with the killings of newly-elected barangay captain Engineer Paul Abert Saquian of Datu Abdul Dadia in Panabo City on November 7, 2023 and Jay Glen Dela Rama, newly-elected barangay councilor in Barangay Sawata in San Isidro, Davao del Norte.
Currently, an investigation is being conducted concerning the killings.
“Kinukondena natin ito. Dapat protektado sila ng ating mga law enforcers at maibiestigahan kaagad at maiwasan dapat ito, kasuhan kaagad, ikulong dapat yung mga suspects sa pamamaslang. Kawawa yung mga opisyales na gusto lang maglingkod sa bayan pero pinaslang sila. Justice ang kailangan dito,” Go told the Davao media.
The senator was in Davao City to extend aid to the victims of Tuesday morning’s fire who are temporary staying at the Kapitan Tomas Monteverde Sr. covered court and at Leon Garcia National High School in Agdao, Davao City.
“Sa mga nasunugan parati kong sinasabi sa kanila, huwag kayong mawalan ng pag-asa. Ang gamit nalalabhan, ang pera kikitain kung magsipag lang tayo. Ang importante ang buhay at kalusugan. A loss life is a loss life forever. Kaya kung may nasaktan, kailangan nating ipagamot ug tabangan nato sa hospital. Ang importante buhi ta ug magtinabangay lang ta,” he said.
