|
By Frank Lloyd Tiongson and Sammy Martin,

The House leadership on Tuesday sought a parallel investigation on
the series of unsolved summary killings in Davao City purportedly

to the ongoing Commission on Human Rights (CHR) investigation on the
killings.
House Speaker Prospero Nograles, a former human
rights lawyer and the representative of the First District of Davao
City, said the House human rights committee led by Rep. Erin Tañada
of Quezon should also serve as a venue to help the CHR find a
resolution to the reported killings in Davao.
