Malacañang on Tuesday condemned the ambush-slay of Calbayog City, Samar Mayor Ronald Aquino.
Aquino and his three bodyguards were killed in an armed encounter Monday afternoon.
“Kinokondena natin yan dahil ang karapatang mabuhay po ay pinakaimportanteng karapatan,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in his virtual presser.
Roque said the killing of Aquino may be politically motivated, wth elections nearing.
“Nanunumbalik po kami at naaalarma na dahil isang mayor po ang pinatay baka ito’y simula na naman ng patayan dahil sa politika sa panahon na palapit na ang eleksyon,” according to him.
“Ang demokrasya po, tao po ang humahalal, at ang ating panawagan, hayaan po natin maghalal ang taumbayan sa pamamagitan ng pagpili, ng sa tingin nila, ang pinakaepektibong mamumuno. Atsaka itong political violence has no place in democracy,” he added.
