SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez called the Philippine National Police and the Department of the Interior and Local Government to an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss the spate of high-profile crimes in the country.
Romualdez, in a statement, expressed concern that almost every week there is news about high-profile killings. “We want to know from the PNP and the DILG what steps are being taken to stop these kinds of heinous crimes,” he said. “Politics appears to be the motive behind the recent ambuscades because many of the victims are politicians,” he said.“We will ask the police and the DILG, what’s the problem? Is it intelligence?” said Romualdez.Last February, a business couple and their companions in the car were fired upon in Pasay City.Lanao del Sur Gov. Mamintal Adiong was also attacked, but survived the ambush in Maguindanao earlier this February, even as four of his police escorts were killed.
