Gilbert Remulla, the NP spokesperson, who according to reports admitted he visited Ampatuan in April when he was confined in a military hospital in Davao City.
Adding insult to injury
“That act, as simple as it may look, rubbed salt to the wounds not only of the relatives and loved ones of the victims of the Maguindanao massacre, but to the whole Filipino citizenry as well,” Acosta exclaimed. Acosta stressed the negative impact of such special treatment to the Ampatuans in the perception of justice in our country.
Acosta believes that peace in Mindanao will finally be realized by the three D’s—disarmament, dialogue and development.
“Even after such a heinous deed, why do these people remain in their seats of power and are even sought for political advancements? This is a clear evidence of how corrupt and fraudulent our electoral system can get!” Acosta said.
Deadly Alliance
“If it is true that NP and the Ampatuans are brewing up an alliance to advance each other’s interests, this then will be the most deadly alliance ever in the history of Philippine politics.”
“They seem to have the three G’s that would kill and overthrow democracy—guns, goons and gold plus another G that solidifies all of their malevolent plans, Gloria. If that is the kind of ‘leadership’ that will take post this May 10, paniguradong papatayin nila at ‘ibaback hoe’ ang demokrasya dito sa ating bansa,” Acosta warned.
