Razon to rivals: Rein in followers
April 9, 2010, 2:54pm
Former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief and Manila mayoral bet Sonny Razon called on Mayor Alfredo Lim and former mayor Jose Atienza, Jr. to rein in their campaign supporters in the wake of the violent clash between members of the two camps before dawn last Tuesday in Paco.
“I understand that election campaigns can sometimes heat up and tempers could flare, but I also believe that it is incumbent upon the candidates and the leaders of the respective camps to take whatever steps necessary to prevent violence,” Razon said.
Based on records of the Manila Police District General Assignments Section (MPD-GAS), two people were hurt and a vehicle was damaged when the clash took place along Quirino Ave. near Plaza Dilao in Paco at 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 6.
The latest incident seemed to have stemmed from a dispute between followers of the two camps regarding the posting of posters and other campaign materials in the area where the clash took place.
Razon said that he was given a copy of the police report on the latest incident but qualified that he is not in a position to make any determination as to who started the clash, adding that his primary concern is to prevent any further violent incidents.
