ANAD Rep. Jun Alcover slammed Davao City’s top officials of sheer arrogance compounded with unrelenting astuteness as if they are holders of Torrens Title personally owning the whole of Davao City and enforce complete control over life and death on its more than 1.1 million residents.
“This is the first time in the history of human civilization where a local government official blew his top over the legitimate arrest, by police and military forces, of an enemy of the state with standing warrants of arrest duly issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 6 of Agusan del Sur for robbery and homicide and for double frustrated murder,” said Rep. Alcover as he described the recent statements of Davao City Mayor Sarah Duterte and his Vice Mayor/father Digong Duterte as wholly painted with abnormal chicanery!
Rep. Alcover, the only voice sounding the bells of pro-democracy in the House of Representative, expressed dismay on the father and daughter’s attitude and abysmal support towards Maoist terrorism in the area. “How can a Chief Executive of an LGU, who has sworn to protect the defend the constitution of the Republic, openly express their anger over a legitimate police action against Edwin Brigano, a notorious NPA terrorist in the Davao region? But that would be understandable if the law enforcement operation has indeed unraveled a long kept secret between them and the enemies of the state, which they only are privy,” Rep. Alcover quipped.
“At most, Mayor Duterte and her father, the former City Mayor of Davao, should have kept silent about the arrest of Brigano rather than open a can of worms through their very highly irresponsible statement that has shamed and insulted not only his office but the entire constitutionally established government structure and officials of the country,” Rep. Alcover clarified.
“Their statement borders on treason as these are open manifestation of betrayal of public trust and abetting anti-government activities within his political jurisdiction through tolerance, proliferation of, providing sanctuary and protection to, and defending the presence and activities of the enemies of the state, the Maoist terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF,” he said.
“I call on the DILG, through Secretary Jesse Robredo, and the appropriate Committee on Local Governments, Justice, and Peace Order, all of the House of Representatives to conduct separate investigation on the possible serious violations committed by City Mayor Sarah Duterte and his father,” said Rep. Alcover.-30-
