STATEMENT OF SENATOR KOKO PIMENTEL ON THE KILLING
Senator Koko Pimentel, chair of the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights, decried the killing of Nerlita Ledesma, a reporter of Abante, last January 8 as "intolerably atrocious" that must immediately be investigated by the police authorities concerned. It is vital that the culprits be brought before the bar of justice soonest. Otherwise, the maintenance of law and order will take another unwanted nose-dive. Needless to say, the Senator said, the legislature should do its part, but, lawmaking takes a long time and cannot substitute for fast and efficient law enforcement that the police can and should do. |
