Ayon kay Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo, inaatasan ng Palasyo ang Philippine National Police (PNP) na masusing imbestigahan ang pagpatay kina Attorney Val Crisostomo at Attorney Edilberto Golla Jr. sa Pangasinan pati na ang pagpatay kay radio commentator Francisco Patindol.
“We denounce in the strongest possible terms the recent murders of two lawyers in Pangasinan and Rizal,” ani Panelo.
“We likewise condemn the senseless murder of Butuan-based radio commentator Francisco Patindol. We are closely monitoring the development of the case even as we sympathize with his family.”
Pinamamadali na ng Palasyo sa mga awtoridad ang pagtukoy sa mga salarin.
Pangako ng Palasyo sa pamilya ng mga biktima, mabibigyan ng hustisya ang pagkamatay ng tatlo.
“We express our deep sympathies to the families, colleagues, and loved ones left by Attys. Val Crisostomo and Edilberto Golla, Jr. We ask authorities to leave no stone unturned in identifying the killers and the perpetrators of these two separate cold-blooded killings. We assure the families of the victims that all those involved will be brought to the bar of justice,” dagdag ni Panelo.
