Sinagot ng anak ni Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile na si Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA) Administrator at Chief Executive Officer Katrina Ponce Enrile ang post ni Publicus Asia’s founder at chief executive officer Malou Tiquia hinggil sa ni-raid na isang drug den sa Malacañang compound.
Matatandaang kamakailan lamang ay ni-raid ng National Bureau of Investigation-Dangerous Drugs Division (NBI-DDD) ang isang drug den sa Malacañang compound, na naging dahilan ng pagkaaresto sa isang lalaking suspek.
MAKI-BALITA: Drug den, natagpuan sa Malacañang compound; suspek, arestado
Naglabas ng saloobin si Tiquia sa kaniyang post nitong Biyernes, Oktubre 25, tungkol sa nabanggit na raid, na sinabayan pa raw ng problema patungkol sa pananalasa ng bagyong Kristine.
“#Malacañan is the seat of power. It is also a drug den. We are reeling from #Kristine and this?” mababasa sa kaniyang post.
Nagbigay naman ng komento si Katrina sa nasabing post ni Tiquia at kinuwestiyon kung nais ba umano nitong palabasing gumagamit din ng ilegal na droga ang kaniyang ama.
Iginiit din ng CEZA administrator at chief executive officer na ginagawa umano ng administrasyong Marcos ang lahat upang aksyunan ang epekto ng bagyong Kristine sa bansa.
“Are you implying that even JPE is also using prohibited drugs?” pag-alma ni Katrina.
“Let’s step back for awhile, if you can still be reasoned with, and analyze for a minute. Are you saying all typhoons are caused by Malacañang? Is it not an act of God?”
“The President and all his cabinet members are doing what they can given the magnitude of this calamity. I am sure you can understand that….like before!” saad pa niya.
Samantala, sinagot din ni Tiquia ang komento ni Katrina, at at sinabing wala naman daw siyang binanggit na pangalan ni JPE at ang Malacañang ang nagdudulot ng mga bagyo.
“Where did I say JPE? Where did I say ‘all typhoons are caused by Malacañan’?” pagbwelta ni Tiquia.
Pagpapatuloy pa niya: “Yes, typhoons are acts of God but it is not God that plans and prepositions. It is Government that is why there is the NDRRMC and check out Republic Act No. 10121. Cabinet members doing what they can? Did you see any discussions in the command conference? Did you see cabinet members giving reports? Did you hear solutions being propounded? It was one man doing a monologue bereft of any intelligent discussion. Should you just do a a closed meeting than hear the president say, ‘we are in the mercy of the weather as we always are Wala na tayong magagawa…’.”
“You talk of magnitude? Didn’t he learn from Carina? And that was just July 2024! I would like to be fair Katrina (you know me) but did you see Bicol, Batangas, Quezon, etc.? Did you see the father carrying his baby slipping on the rooftop? Did you see his wife carrying what they can save, crying on the rooftop? If you did, you will do more than going to my wall and posting this. Take care.”
Habang isinusulat ito’y wala pa naman muling tugon si Katrina sa nasabing komento ni Tiquia.
