Witnesses in the Pamplona massacre and other killings in Negros Oriental departed for Manila two days ahead of a Senate hearing and the DOJ preliminary investigation into the gun slay of Gov. Roel Degamo and eight others last month. ManilaBulletin
The group of about 40 people, led by Pamplona, Negros Oriental Mayor Janice Degamo, the slain governor’s wife, boarded a Philippine Air Force C-130 aircraft at the Dumaguete-Sibulan Airport here at about 10:30 a.m.
She said while the two activities center on the Pamplona massacre, past killings in Negros Oriental would also be investigated as she believes many of them are connected. Spotted at the airport before the departure were some massacre survivors and families of slain victims, as well as the next-of-kin of previous shooting incidents, including one related to a murdered media practitioner.
