Proteksyon kina PBBM, First Lady, Speaker Romualdez, taasan

NANAWAGAN ang isang mambabatas na taasan ang ipinatutupad na seguridad kina PresidentenBongbong Marcos, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos at Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.

Ang apela ay ginawa ni House Assistant Majority Leader at Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong kasunod ng nakakaalarmang pahayag ni Vice President Sara Duterte ukol sa kaligtasan ng mga ito.

Ayon sa mambabatas, hindi dapat isantabi o ipagwalang bahala ang walang ingat na mga pahayag ni Duterte.

“Ang Pangulo at ang Speaker ay mahalagang haligi ng ating demokrasya. Anumang banta laban sa kanila ay banta rin sa seguridad ng ating bansa. It is imperative that we ensure their safety at all costs,” ani Adiong.

Reaksyon ito ni Adiong sa pahayag ni Duterte sa isang Zoom press conference, kung saan inatasan umano nito ang isang indibidwal na targetin ang Presidente, First Lady at Speaker kung namatay ito.

“This rhetoric is deeply irresponsible and deeply troubling. We do not want these kind of threats be directed against anyone, not to the sitting President, the Speaker or even to the Vice President herself. Instead of fostering unity, it incites fear and division, creates an atmosphere of insecurity among the top echelon of our government and promotes a culture of violence which is diametrically opposed to the core of our democratic system of governance. We must take these threats seriously and provide heightened security for the President, the First Lady, and the Speaker,” giit ni Adiong.

Nanawagan pa ang mambabatas kay Duterte na bawiin ang kanyang pahayag at linawin ang kanyang intensyon.

“Kung may mga isyung kailangang harapin, dapat itong sagutin nang maayos at direkta. Threats have no place in governance, especially against our top leaders,” pahayag ni Adiong. (Vina de Guzman)
