QC Task Force Head Ludovica Not Afraid Of Hontiveros Warning
RANNIE LUDOVICA – Quezon City Task Force Disiplina head Rannie Ludovica said he was not afraid of Senator Risa Hontiveros’ warning.
According to him, he is more than ready to face any punishment that may befall him following his “shoot to kill statement”.
Instead of apologizing, Ludovica doubled down and said:
Tatanggapin ko kung anumang parusa sa nagawa kong statement. Pero alam naman dito sa lugar namin, siguro kamay na bakal talaga ang kailangang gawin dahil sa loob ng 5 buwan, puro pakiusap, wala namang nangyayari. Ngayon, back to zero ulit
(I’ll accept whatever punishment caused by my statement. But I know that in or area, I think that an iron hand maybe what’s needed because after 5 months of please, nothing happens. Now, it’s back to zero).
Recently, Senator Risa Hontiveros called out the QC Task Force head, the Commission of Human Rights, and QC Mayor Joy Belmonte. Hontiveros emphasized that amid a pandemic, officials should not never be allowed to incite violence to the public.
However, according to a report from ABS-CBN, Ludovica apologized to everybody that he hurt with his statement.
Nag-aapologize po ako doon sa mga nasaktan. Pero kung kayo ay tagarito sa amin, nakikita n’yo kung gaano walang kadisiplina ang mga tao, wala nang kinakatakutan. Siguro naiintindihan ako ng taga-rito sa amin
(I apologize for those I hurt, But, if you’re from my area, you’d see how undisciplined the people here area. They’re not afraid of anything. I think the people here understand.)
Furhtermore, he emphasized that his “shoot to kill” statement has never been a policy of QC Mayor Belmonte and never will be.
He also noted that over 7,000 residents have been arrested for violating health protocols during the lockdowns.
