Tabuk City, Kalinga (10 July) -- Kalinga Police Provincial Director Virgilio Laya said that the shooting of Jose "Pepe" Daguio, 72, here is not a media killing incident. According to Laya, the first consideration is that Daguio is no longer active as a media man since he resigned from a media outfit in 2008 and currently "not connected with any media group." Another consideration he mentioned is that the possible motives that the police are currently investigating "have no indications that the case is media related." Last week, the police invited a possible suspect, who voluntarily submitted himself for a paraffin test. The test reportedly yielded negative results prompting investigators to consider other angles. |

Tabuk City, Kalinga (10 July) -- The provincial leadership doubts the province is capable of handling its internal security operations (ISO) once it is turned over to the local government unit (LGU). Reacting to plans of the military to turn over the ISO of the province to the LGU, Governor Jocel Baac said that the LGU is not yet capable of handling the task at hand. He has apprehensions the LGU is not ready to accept the job since the peace and order concern of the province minus the insurgency is already a heavy burden on their part. "This has to be evaluated first before any move to do so otherwise we will be adding burden to the problem of solving common crimes and tribal conflicts," he said. He added that the parameters used to declare an area free from the influence of insurgents has to be reviewed. |
