Four suspects were arrested just hours after the attack on Degamo inside his residential compound at Barangay Isidro in Pamplona town. A fifth suspect, who is still unidentified, was killed in a firefight with the pursuing lawmen in Bayawan City.
“It is only right that he be given justice. I believe, similar to the belief of the majority of people in Negros Oriental, that putting the mastermind behind bars will bring peace once again to this once-peaceful province of ours. We owe that to our children and our children’s children. It would be shameful if we do nothing to bring peace to Negros Oriental,” she said.
A few days after his video message was posted on his Facebook page, one of the suspects said a certain “Cong Teves” ordered the hit on Degamo.Teves’ younger brother, Pryde Henry, was declared the winner in the 2022 elections against Degamo. But his victory was nullified by the Commission on Elections and the votes of a nuisance candidate Grego Gaudia, who used the name “Ruel Degamo,” was counted in Degamo’s favor.
Centino said that in the coming days, soldiers would be accompanying police in manning checkpoints and in serving warrants. The justice secretary did not give other details on why he believed that the absence of the police officers could be related to Degamo’s assassination. “That’s their job, they should have guarded him but that day, they weren’t there,” he said.Placed under WPP
