The Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to create a special panel of prosecutors to handle 20 cases of political killings in the province including that of slain Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.
The Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs asked the Department of Justice to create a special panel of prosecutors to handle 20 cases of political killings in the province including that of slain Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.
“Apparently, pati fiscal niyo doon sa Negros Oriental ay parang takot at nagkabuhol-buhol ang mga kaso. We are not accusing ah…but the revelation coming from our resource persons parang takot lahat. Everyone is takot,” Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, chairman of the committee, said. With this, Tolentino asked if the DOJ could assign three Manila-based special prosecutors to handle the 20 cases which were brought before the Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs.
Andres said the DOJ already did this in several instances in the past “to avoid a miscarriage of justice” and in places where “there is some tension or pressure” in conducting the preliminary investigation.
