Cagayan Governor Manuel Mamba says the ambush was 'definitely 100% politically motivated.'
PAMPANGA, Philippines – Cagayan Governor Manuel Mamba has questioned the results of a police investigation two months after the February 19 ambush of Aparri Vice Mayor Rommel Alameda and his five companions, as authorities disclosed that they have identified a suspect who conspired with at least five others.“This is the 60th day, [and] two months.. These are not the people who really did it. Only a few people can do this,” he said.
Major Sharon Mallillin, the officer-in-charge of the regional police information office, said on Wednesday that only one of the six suspects, including an alleged politician, was identified while the other five remained unidentified.
