Trader na isinangkot sa Mayor slay umalma

LEGASPI CITY , Philippines  –  Pina­bu­­laanan ni Christopher S. Co, presidente ng Hi-Tone Cons­truction and Development Corporation, ang anumang pagkakasangkot sa pagpas­lang kay Boy Mayor, testigo sa jueteng gate scandal na kina­sasangkutan ng matataas na opisyal ng pamahalaan.

Ang pahayag ay ginawa ng negosyante bilang tugon sa radio interview kay Sandra Cam, whistle blower sa na­sabing iskandalo

“I deny that I have some­thing to do with what hap­pened to Boy Mayor who was like a relative to me. I am deeply saddened by his untimely demise. However, recently he has informed me that he was in financial dis­tress,” pahayag ni Co. 

“Unfortunately, there are other personalities who would like to get their share in the lime­light at the expense of legitimate businessmen like myself. I would like to clarify that all our government pro­jects under­ went through the process of bidding and are above board,” ayon pa sa kanya.

“I would like to caution people who are in the habit of maligning innocent people and assuming things for their own personal gain thereby muddling the real issue at hand that there are conse­quences to their actions. I will not hesitate to file the cor­responding cases in order to protect my name. 

Si Mayor ay nagkaroon ng makulay na buhay at isa sa mga testigo sa jueteng gate scandal. Pumalaot din siya sa pulitika bilang barangay chair­man sa Barangay Tagas, Daraga, Albay, subalit natalo nang tumakbong alkalde noong 2004.
