CAGAYAN de Oro City-One of Department of Justice secretary Vitaliano Aguirre’s security aides has reported that the car he was driving was hit by a bullet but the DOJ chief has assured the incident was not an attempt on his life. Talking to reporters here yesterday, Aguirre said it was just an accident and did not consider it as a threat. “Wala yun, baka aksidente lang yun (it was nothing, maybe it was just an accident),” he said. Aguirre was here to deliver a keynote speech on behalf of Pres. Rodrigo

Duterte to the officers and members of the Philippine Trial Judges League, Inc. during its 23rd national convention and seminar held in a luxe hotel here. Aguirre said Duterte’s message to the magistrates was to go after people behind the proliferation of illegal drugs and those involved in criminal activities. Aguirre said he was not alarmed at the incident as it could just be a mishap. “Di ko binibigyan ng importansya yun (I did not give it importance). [It] might be just an accident, a pure accident.” In an official statement, Senior Inspector Recardo

Marasigan, one of the Aguirre’s security personnel, said he “felt something hit the back part of my Hyundai Eon” while on his way to report for duty to the DOJ chief early Tuesday morning between 5:30 a.m. and 5:50 a.m. “Upon arrival at the house of the SoJ [Aguirre], I inspected my car and saw a hole at the left tail part of my car. When I inspected further, I saw a slug inside the hole,” Marasigan said. He added he instructed his companions to report the incident to the nearest police station.
