Date:

Upon instruction from Communications Secretary Martin Andanar, Co-Chair of the Task Force, PTFoMS Executive Director USec.. Joel Sy Egco immediately spoke with Eastern Police District Director Chief Superintendent Romulo Sapitula and directed him to leave no stone unturned in finding out who are the perpetrators behind this dastardly attack.

While it is yet to be confirmed if this incident falls under the mandate of the Task Force in relation to the Administrative Order No. 1 (AO1) of Pres.
