Finally, his call for a heart to heart talk is answered.
Basilan Bishop Martin Jumoad is going to meet President Simeon Benigno Aquino III on Monday facilitated by the Aquino sisters in Malacanang.
The news was broke by Jaime Juanito “Jamju” Rivera a friend based in Isabela City Basilan. Jamju is the president of Basilan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc., whose organization sought for the relief of PNP ARMM Regional Director Chief Supt. Bienvenido Latag.
He said some Malacanang people called him up to set a meeting between Bishop Jumoad and President Aquino. The scheduled meeting is on January 24.
Earlier Bishop Jumoad has called on authorities to do something on Basilan's growing lawlessness where kidnapping and street crimes have become a daily fare, children were not spared.
However, Bishop Jumoad's description of lawlessness was dismissed by Latag as pure “exaggeration,” and this prompted business sector to call for his ouster as police chief in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
On January 13, 2011 Bishop Jumoad received some guests at the Bishop's Palace along CP Garcia Street in Isabela City. Among the guests were Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo, PNP Chief Director General Raul Bacalzo and Western Mindanao Command chief Lt. General Raymundo Ferrer.
