2,000 convicted murderers, rapists at drug lords, nakalaya — P-Digong | FAELDON, SIBAK!

DAHIL sinuway ang kanyang utos, nagdesisyon si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na sibakin si Bureau of Corrections Director Nicanor Faeldon.

“He should have echoed my orders to him. No releases, sabi ng Office of — huwag na ako — Office of the President, until further notice by higher autho­rities. Higher authority could only mean Me­dialdea, Guevarra at ako,” ani P-Duterte sa kanyang ipina­tawag na press conference sa Malacañang.

“Wala akong pakialam. ‘Pag sinabi na may release, sabi ko — hindi ‘yan tama. It was in the dead of the night. Sabi ko, “Wake him up. Tell him no re­leases,” ayon pa sa pangulo.

“Wala akong pakialam kung na-sign o hindi. Basta ako, sinabi ko no releases,” diin pa nito.

“I said no releases but what he said was a com­putation. May apoy na nga, eh. I was trying to pro­vide the fire extinguisher para wala ng magduda ‘yung tao. No releases. Eh, kung sinabi niya ‘yan, ‘di wala na sana. Ang ginawa niya, he tried to justify ang computation nila, which may be correct by the way,” wika ni Duterte.

“Hindi naman mga bobo ‘to, eh. But the problem is there was a fire burning and ‘pag sinabi ng Pre­sidente hintay ka until further orders, ang ibig sabihin noon, mag-imbestiga ako in a jiffy. An investigation, ask persons about what really happened then I can make the decision,” sabi ng pangulo.

“But I have to yet — as yet I have to talk to itong si — pati si Secretary Guevarra. Ang problema niya kinabukasan, he came up with the statement with his own computation. Kung sinabi lang niya ‘yung sinabi ko ‘di tapos na,” dagdag pa ng Punong Ehekutibo.
