Govt hopes case will not affect peace talks |
|
Sec. Dureza does not discount Mayor Isnaji’s high
rank but insists that evidence is what will matter
|
|
Malacañang hopes that the case filed against
Mayor Alvarez Isnaji of Indanan, Sulu, will not affect the
relationship between the government and the Moro National Liberation
Front (MNLF) particularly the ongoing tripartite review of the 1996
peace agreement.
“We are confident that the MNLF and non-MNLF
members will look at this case based on evidence and understand that
this is the normal course of things and due process will be given to
the Isnajis. He may have been implicated but he will be presumed
innocent unless proven otherwise by a competent court. If there’s
no strong evidence against him, the case will be dismissed,” Press
Secretary Jesus Dureza said.
