He was referring to Resolution No. 2020-02-125 of the Oroquieta City government which commended soldiers of the Western Mindanao Command along with 19 police troops of the Oroquieta City Police Station, Misamis Occidental Provincial Police Office, and Misamis Occidental Provincial Field Unit.
They were feted for their assistance during the law enforcement operation led by the police against Jennifer Aguhob on February 5.
Aguhob was captured at her residence by virtue of a warrant of arrest for murder issued by the Dipolog City Regional Trial Court on July 29, 2019.
Adopted on February 24, the resolution stated that the city of Oroquieta and its people stand proud of the unified accomplishment of the police and military in maintaining the peace and order in their community.
“It is just and proper to afford these personnel of PNP and AFP due commendation for their indefatigable performance and dedication to their duties and responsibilities in the pursuit of peace as manifested in the arrest of Jennifer Aguhob,” the resolution said.
In the document, Aguhob was identified as "a mole and a threat" to the government and to the people of the city.
It further said that her arrest assures the people of Oroquieta of its safety and a guarantee of continued effort in maintaining public safety.
The resolution was signed by Oroquieta City Mayor Lemuel Meyrick M. Acosta, Sangguniang Panlungsod Member Sol Jude D. Gamalinda, and Secretary to the Sanggunian Juanita Montejo.
