STATEMENT ON THE AMBUSH OF DPWH USEC. AQUINO

Mariin kong kinokondena ang pananambang kay Undersecretary Ramon Aquino ng Department of Public Works and Highways sa tapat ng Head Office ng DPWH ngayong hapon lamang.

According to initial reports, Usec. Aquino, DPWH Undersecretary for Operations, was on board his car and entering the DPWH compound when two men armed with automatic weapons fired upon his vehicle, leaving Usec. Aquino severely wounded and his car riddled with bullets. As of this time, it is still not certain whether he survived the attack.

I call on the PNP to discover the motive behind the attack and bring the perpetrators to justice.

This brazen act of lawlessness should not go unpunished.

Walang lugar ang ganitong karahasan sa ating lipunan.
