Vice President Sara Duterte on Saturday, March 4, asked authorities to look into the “political feud” in Negros Oriental after its governor, Roel Degamo, was killed in a shooting incident in his home in Pamplona, Negros Oriental.
In a statement, the Vice President condemned the killing of the governor, who she said was both a “political ally” and a “dear friend.”
“Authorities must start looking at the political feud that has gripped Negros Oriental and has taken so many lives, not just of Gov. Degamo,” Duterte added. This after votes obtained by a nuisance candidate—Ruel G. Degamo—was transferred to the late governor because the Comelec failed to resolve the case before Election Day.
