DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/22 May) - The bombshell did not come.
Former mayor Benjamin de Guzman cleared Mayor Rodrigo Duterte of allegations the latter was behind the Davao Death Squad when he testified before the public hearing on extra judicial killings conducted by the Commission on Human Rights at the Waterfront Hotel this morning.
De Guzman told CHR Chairperson Leila de Lima that he did not even use the death squad as a political issue against Duterte in the 2001 and 2004 elections when the former allies parted and fought each other for the mayoralty. |
