MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte promised justice for the death of 17-year-old Kian Loyd delos Santos, whom the police shot and killed in an antidrug operation in Caloocan City, delos Santos’ mother said.
In a video posted on the Facebook page of Communications Assistant Secretary Margaux “Mocha” Uson, Lorenza delos Santos said she hopes to get justice for her son’s death after speaking with Duterte on Monday.
“Pinangako naman po niya sa amin na sa lalong madaling panahon ay tutulungan niya kaming malutas ang kaso dahil hindi po niya papayagan kung sinuman daw po ang nagkasala ay dapat maparusahan,” Lorenza said.
“Mas panatag na ang loob dahil alam naman po natin na si Pangulong Duterte na nagsabi. Wala na pong agam-agam na pagtitiwalang buong-puso na makakatulong po siya sa pagpapadali sa pagresolba sa kaso,” she added.
The mother of the slain Grade 11 student also called on the public to stop using the death of her son for political agenda.
“Sana po na tigilan na po kasi hindi naman po kami namumulitika dito e,” Lorenza said. “Ang gusto lang po namin ay mabigyan ng katarungan ang pagkamayay ng anak ko.”
Duterte met with delos Santos’ parents Lorenza and Saldy on Monday afternoon at the Malago Clubhouse of Malacañang Park.
“Wala akong ano na magkapote ng abuso. Hindi trabaho ng Presidente iyan,” Duterte told delos Santos’ parents. “Trabaho namin is proteksyon ng tao kaya makakaasa kayo ng agarang hustisya.”/PN
