goons in 1st district
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The police of the Oriental Negros command is verifying reports that some politicians in the first district are importing goons from other provinces following the ambush-slay of supporters of a congressional candidate in La Libertad.
The camps of congressional candidate Jocelyn Limkaichong refused to believe that the killing of his leader, village chief Lydio Baylon, and six others was the work of the New People's Army, or that it was the plan of their political rivals.
On the other hand, congressional candidate Olive Paras
denied reports that she has lots of goons who accompanying her while
campaigning in the district. She said she has only her security personnel.
