MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Abalos or Remulla? Remulla or Abalos?

There seems to be confusion on who is the appropriate spokesperson for the ongoing investigation of the murder of of former Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.

Both the Department of Interior and Local Government’s (DILG) Secretary Benhur Abalos and the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Secretary Crispin Remulla have been issuing public statements on the status of the said investigation.

While a governor is technically within the jurisdiction of DILG, crime investigations are clearly within the purview of DOJ.

But what/who gives?

Well, to resolve the issue, Abalos and Remulla agreed to play the game of jack en poy in order to resolve the conflict and the public’s confusion.

Stay tuned for the results!
