Malacañang has assured that an immediate and fair investigation will be conducted on the Quezon City shooting incident that killed a former soldier for reportedly violating the enhanced community quarantine.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque expressed that the Palace was saddened over the involvement of two public servants in the incident. He clarified that the said shooting is not part of the President’s directive in tightening the implementation of the enhanced community quarantine.
“Wala pong relasyon ito sa kahit anong sinabi ng Presidente, at hindi po sinabi ng pulis na ito po’y ipinatutupad sa utos ng Presidente. So huwag po nating bigyan ng interpretasyon ang bagay na ito na wala namang basehan (This has nothing to do with what the President said, and the police did not say the move was upon the orders of the President. So let us not give any interpretation without basis),” Roque said. – Report from Mela Lesmoras
