Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte on Saturday afternoon demanded the
New People’s Army to release jail warden Jose Mervin Coquilla within 72 hours.
It is almost a month since the jail warden of Compostela Valley Provincial
Rehabilitation Center
The mayor's demand follows a meeting with the wife of
Coquilla, Lijobeth, who requested Duterte to help in facilitating the release
of her husband. Lijobeth met the mayor yesterday at the Ateneo de Davao
University after the chief executive forum with students.
It was not the first time that Coquilla's family had
appealed to the mayor for help.
On Saturday, Lijobeth had told the mayor she is suffering
from cancer and her husband's abduction is affecting her health. She also said
that their son resigned from his job because of the family's situation.
The NPAs had accused Coquilla of alleged corruption and
covert and overt participation in illegal drugs inside the jail.
This has been denied by the family.
