MANILA — Stressing that no one is above the law, House Deputy Minority Leader and ACT Teachers party-list Rep. France Castro on Thursday called on the House of Representatives to investigate Vice President Sara Duterte’s alleged connection to Oplan Tokhang during her term as mayor in Davao City.
Castro made the call after Arturo Lascañas, a confessed hitman of the Davao Death Squad (DDS) linked the feisty Vice President to extrajudicial killings (EJKs) in Davao City.
“It is no wonder that VP Duterte’s position is not to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC) because it would seem that she is involved in the drug killings and not just her father,” Castro noted.
Lascañas has submitted an affidavit before the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding the alleged involvement of VP Sara in the EJKs.
“No one is above the law. Justice delayed is justice denied. Huwag nang ipagkait ang hustisyang ilang taon nang isinisigaw ng taong-bayan,” Castro said.
Vice President Sara Duterte on Thursday denied orchestrating “Oplan Tokhang” in Davao City during her term as mayor.
“Bago ang script na ito. Sa mga taon na nagsilbi ako bilang vice mayor at mayor ng Davao City, ni minsan ay hindi naugnay ang aking pangalan sa isyung ito,” VP Sara said.
