The mother told police that the attack happened after a series of meetings with local officials led her to a decision to prepare plunder and disqualification cases against the city mayor.
“These cases would mean the end of his [political] career. I’m the only one who mustered up the courage to fight corruption in our city,” she said.
Among the incidents she cited were her refusal to receive the P1.5 million the mayor supposedly gave through a woman who left the amount in a bank in October 2012 and the copies of Commission on Audit (COA) reports she gave to concerned citizens, who posted these on the Facebook account “Mabalacat stop corruption.”
The mayor, however, called the corruption allegations “baseless” and “not true.”
The mother said she had been receiving death threats, the last in September, which she reported to the police.
Last week, she went to the COA provincial office to seek advice on her plan to pursue a fraud investigation of the city coffers
She also told that her daughter had her own car but she drove my car when she went to the beauty parlor before returning home.
Not a good idea to drive your mom's car with all what was going on.
