Calamba Shootout or ‘Encounter’?

Sec. Raul Gonzales and Atty. Leila de Lima are at it again. These two had been at odds since the previous elections because they represent the government and the opposition respectively and it seems just natural that they collide with so much friction since both are adamant to discredit each other’s side. For principle? Maybe but quite frankly I’m guessing it’s for the 2010 elections. Gonzales says his opinion – to shoot and kill the RCBC suspected suspects – is not the reason why the four men from Tanauan, Batangas ended up dead as opposed to De Lima’s insistence that his suggestion triggered the PNP to shoot and kill the men; hence the rob out scenario. Take note of Gonzales’ opinion from De Lima’s suggestion : whoever is taking the other one out of context is almost virtually impossible to detect.

The initial encounter a.k.a. rob out issue between the four men from Tanauan hasn’t even been cleared yet and now another shoot out in Brgy. Puting Lupa in Calamba, possibly a rob out incident again, has resulted in Montano Tolentino’s death, which the PNP Calabarzon believes is the leader of the famed Tolentino Liquido Group – a notorious organized crime syndicate operating in the said region. The family of Tolentino said it was a rob out but the PNP said otherwise. According to the PNP, they were there at Tolentino’s house with a search warrant but the man open fired at them and left the RCBC Task Force no choice but to retaliate.
