COMELEC RESOLUTION NO. 8436
IN THE MATTER OF THE BIDDING FOR THE AUTOMATION OF THE 2008 ELECTIONS IN THE AUTONOMOUS REGION IN MUSLIM MINDANAO
PRESS STATEMENT IN RE: ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF ATTY. WYNNE ASDALA, DIRECTOR III LAW DEPARTMENT
At on or about 12:45 – 1:00 o’clock PM today, the Acting Director III of the Law Department, Atty. Wynne Asdala was shot by two (2) (still) unidentified assailants in front of CHOWKING along Andres Soriano St., Intramuros Manila.
He was immediately brought by our people from the COMELEC to the Manila Doctors Hospital for treatment. As of the moment, Atty. Asdala is undergoing surgery.
We in the Commission on Elections condemn and deplore in the strongest possible terms this cowardly and dastardly act. We assure the family of Atty. Asdala that we will have this case immediately investigated and leave no stone unturned, so that those who are behind this heinous crime will be made to fully account and answer before the law. We will be coordinating with the Philippine National Police and the National Bureau of Investigation to commence a thorough investigation on this matter.
We call on our people in the Commission on Elections, especially those in the field to stand their ground and let not this act of violence dampen their spirits in their continued pursuit of discharging their mandate as the vanguard of democracy and elections laws.
