Politically-Tainted Incident: Investigation into Badian Ambush's Controversial Organizational Implications
In a heated political race for Badian’s mayorship, Provincial Board Member Jerome Christian Librandoma has forcefully denounced the merciless attack on a key supporter of his rival, Gerry Duquemana. This abhorrent incident has ignited conversations, with allegations swirling that it was politically driven.
Posting on his social media platform, Librandoma unequivocally condemned the vicious assault that led to the tragic death of former barangay councilor Guillermo 'Glen' Antipuestomana, and the wounding of another stalwart ally, Santos 'Sonny' Ambrad.
On the heels of Librandoma's impassioned statement, reports resurfaced of Antipuestoman's alignment with Duquemana's campaign. The attack, which occurred in Barangay Candiis on April 28, has sparked whispers of political motives.
Earlier reports from our website Cebu, however, revealed Duquemana's own condemnation of the attack and his disclosure of Antipuestoman's life threats. Antipuestoman himself had previously echoed concerns about the town's increasingly fraught political climate.
Unwilling to fan the political flames, Librandoma appealed to the public: "We must not exploit this tragedy for political gain by making baseless accusations or using it to sow discord."
He underscored the importance of a "thorough, impartial investigation" to bring the culprits to justice, devoid of any political manipulation or unfounded speculation. "No act of violence can ever be justified, especially when it forfeits another's life," he stated solemnly.
Despite mounting tension in the district, Librandoma's commitment to upholding justice and maintaining unity amidst adversity shines through staunch determination. [Source: Cebu report]
