PEACE SITUATION
The
Regional Development Council in Bicol expressed alarm after Fr. Leo
Casas, social action director of Masbate and concurrent co-chairman
of the RDC, reported before the RDC meeting that in the island
province of Masbate there’s an election-related killing every 22
hours.
In
response, RDC Bicol initiated a full council resolution that
vehemently articulated the collective dismay over the rising tide of
political violence and the seeming irreversible deterioration in the
peace and order situation in Masbate since it is already affecting
the development of the region. RDC Chair Salceda directed the
Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines to
perform their duties diligently and secure a more viable environment
for the people of Masbate to exercise their socio-political rights.
