QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE OF REP. ROBES

Recognized by the Chair, upon motion of Rep.

Belmonte (J.), Rep. Arturo B. Robes rose on a question

of personal and collective privilege regarding the

increasing incidence of crime and violence in his

district, San Jose Del Monte City. This, as he expressed

profound regret, deep concern, and condemnation on

the attempted murder of City Engineer Rufino

Gravador Jr., which he believed was politically

motivated considering the engineer’s opposition to the

anomalous construction of a new government center in

the city’s Barangay Dulong Bayan. He made certain

contentions surrounding the case and showed a video

presentation caught by CCTV cameras on the scene

where Engr. Gravador was ambushed.

As he stressed that many other crimes remained

unresolved in San Jose Del Monte City, Rep. Robes

∗ Amended as per Journal No. 39 of December 9, 2015

∗asked the Comission on Elections to declare it as an

election hot spot. He challenged his constituents to

stand up for truth and justice. He asked the House to

craft laws for witness protection, more police

deployment in urban areas, and heavier penalties for

politically motivated crimes.

REFERRAL OF REP. ROBES’ SPEECH

On motion of Rep. Belmonte (J.), there being no

objection, the Body referred Rep. Robes’ speech to the

Committee on Rules.

due to the failure of the Quezon Medical Center in
