PIMENTEL CONDEMNS BOMBING OF RADIO STATION MOBILE VAN

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Nene Q. Pimentel, Jr. (PDP-Laban) today condemned the bombing by molotov cocktail of the mobile van of the Radio Mindanao-Network-DXCC in Cagayan de Oro City this morning.

This is intended to silence the number one radio station critical of corruption in the Cagayan de Oro city hall, Pimentel said.

The senator from Cagayan de Oro said the perpetrators of the bombing are dead wrong if they think that they could silence their media critics and dissuade them from exposing the misdeeds and abuses of wielders of power.

Pimentel also called on law enforcement authorities to leave no stone unturned in investigating the incident and unmasking the people behind this cowardly and dastardly act.
