PINURI ni re-elected Leyte Representative Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez ang Philippine National Police sa ilalim ni Gen. Nicolas Torre III at iba pang law enforcement agencies sa mabilis na pag-aresto sa suspek sa pagpaslang sa opisyal ng Kamara de Representantes na si Director Mauricio “Morie” Pulhin.

“Justice for Director Pulhin is finally within reach – and we will see it through,” ani Rep. Romualdez, na Speaker noong 19th Congress kung kailan nangyari ang pagpatay kay Pulhin.

Ayon kay Rep. Romualdez, isang abogado mula sa University of the Philippines (UP) at kasalukuyang Pangulo ng Philippine Constitution Association (Philconsa), patunay ito na ang mga gumagawa ng karahasan ay hindi makakatakas at hahabulin ng batas saan man sila magtago.

“Let this serve as a clear and unwavering message: those who commit acts of violence against public servants will face the full force of justice. There is no place for fear or impunity in a society that upholds the dignity of public service,” dagdag pa niya.

Kinumpirma ng Kamara nitong Martes ang pagkakaaresto sa suspek ng pinagsanib na puwersa ng Quezon City Police District at Malabon police.

Ang naarestong suspek na si Cris Mark, 35, na may alyas na “Glenn Balbido Robredo,” ang itinuturong gunman sa pagpaslang kay Pulhin noong Hunyo 15 sa Don Jose Heights Subdivision sa Quezon City.

Si Pulhin ay nagsilbing chief of technical staff ng House committee on ways and means.

Ikinalugod ni Speaker Romualdez ang pagkakaaresto sa suspek at tinawag itong “a vital breakthrough in our pursuit of truth and accountability.”

Pinuri rin niya ang mga pulis sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Gen. Torre sa kanilang mabilis, magkakaugnay at propesyunalismo na nauwi sa pagkakahuli ng mga suspek.

“Their dedication reinforces our confidence in the rule of law,” aniya.

“Director Pulhin was a devoted public servant—a man of quiet strength and integrity. His untimely death brought pain to his family, sorrow to our institution, and outrage to everyone who knew him. We owe it to his memory—and to all those who serve faithfully behind the scenes—to ensure that justice is not delayed and never denied,” dagdag pa ni Romualdez.

Tiniyak din niya sa pamilya Pulhin na kaisa nila ang House of Representatives. “We share in your grief, and we are with you in the fight to hold those responsible fully accountable under the law,” ani Rep. Romualdez.

“Justice for Morie is finally within reach. The House will not rest until it is fully served. We will see it through—all the way to the end,” dagdag pa ni Rep. Romualdez.
