MANILA, Philippines — Barraged with complaints from kin of the victims of political killings in Negros Oriental, senators asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday to create a special committee tasked to handle information on these cases in the province. It was Sen. Francis Tolentino who first raised the need to compile all the cases of politically-motivated deaths in the province, considering 'all the underlying conditions.' 'Kapag nabuo natin iyong ganoong story (If we're able to piece together the stories), I think we can aspire to achieve justice,' he said at the Senate public order and dangerous drugs committee hearing on the brazen murder of Negros Oriental Gov.
