Nograles prods Commission on Human Rights on Davao slay report

- Jess Diaz -

MANILA, Philippines - Speaker Prospero Nograles urged the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) yesterday to “come out strongly” with its report on its investigation into unsolved killings in Davao City.

The latest victims were two campaigners of the party-list groups Bantay of retired Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan and Anad (Alliance for National Democracy) of Pastor Alcover.

The two were abducted by armed men and later found dead.

Bantay and Anad have linked incumbent Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to the death of the two campaigners, but the mayor denied the accusation.

He said if he were to abduct people associated with the two party-list groups, it would be Palparan and Alcover, who have accused the mayor of supporting communist rebels in his city.

Nograles is running for mayor against Duterte’s daughter Sara, the incumbent vice mayor. The mayor, on the other hand, is running as his daughter’s vice mayoral teammate.
