CIO richard ligad firmly denied the accusation brought against him by the suspéct, leobert Dasmariñas, of allegedly injuring and pressuring him into confessing to the murdér of criminology and working student jovelyn galleno, the suspect’s complete cousin. According to cio ligad, the finding of remains is thought to be jovelyn galleno’s in brgy. Sta. Lourdes, puerto princesa city, stated that it was unsure about Leobert Dasmariñas. Leobert dasmarias’ alleged harm was denied by city information officer richard ligad.

According to legend, Leobert and Leobert only met and spoke after the bones were unearthed. Ligad went on to say that the second time he and Leobert met here, he reportedly confessed something regarding Jovelyn’s mobile phone, which he grabbed after committing the murdér.

Ligad expressed amazement when Leobert explained why Jovelyn’s smartphone was not sold and why he had to toss it in the river and go to the inconvenience of climbing to a high position or leaving it at the site of the crime. Someone apparently instructed Leobert to “dispose” of Jovelyn’s cellphone in the river, and Ligad was not satisfied by Leobert’s explanation, so out of frustration, he murmured a remark indicating he had just disposed of Leobert, and their conversation was no longer observed.

Ligad went on to say that on the day the authorities seized Jovelyn’s jewels, Leobert informed the PNP that he had not arrived, and that the Galleno family’s claim that Leobert told them he was being tOrturéd was false. He is supposed to be imprisoned.

However, the Information Officer stated his displeasure with his role in the Jovelyn Galleno sc@ndal and the harsh reactions of netizens to him. Others are urging him to be charged with the case because his name is involved, but he does not want to add to the problems of Jovelyn’s family and relatives because he stands to earn nothing out of it.

“Unang-una maraming nagsasabi sa akin na kasuhan mo, mga kaibigan natin, para ano inisip ko naman makadagdag pako doon sa problema nila kinakaharap tapos ano gagastos pa ko? Para kasuhan ano ang mapapala natin? Kaya niyo bang bayaran ang danyos na inabot ko? Nagpapasalamat lang ako dito sa lokal na hindi ganun ka-init ang paniniwala dahil alam naman nila kung ano ang trabaho natin bakit tayo nandirito at nandodoon alam nila na tayo ay Public Order Safety Officer,” Officer Ligad stated.

(First of all, many people tell me to sue you, our friends, why did I think that I could add to the problem they are facing and then what else will I spend? To sue what will we gain? Can you pay the damages I have incurred? I’m just thankful to the local people who don’t believe that much because they know what our job is, why we’re here and there, they know that we’re Public Order Safety Officers)
