(Mayor Uy)

The Arnulfo Ortiz Command of the New People’s Army in Western Samar today extended its sympathies to the family and friends of Calbayog City Mayor Reynaldo Uy, and condemned his assassination last May 1 by those widely suspected to be his rivals in reactionary politics. “We are saddened at the killing of Mayor Reynaldo Uy,” said Ka Vicente Magbuhat, AOC spokesperson. “His assassination by those believed to be his political rivals underscore the worsening crisis and rottenness of the reactionary ruling system. The contradictions between reactionary politicians are turning even more bitter and bloodier because there is no more room for mutual accommodation over the dwindling spoils of power.”
