Two days after All Souls’ Day, an attendant at Davao Memorial Park sweeps the trash left behind by the people who visited their dearly departed. (Sun.Star Davao/Toto Lozano) COMPOSTELA Valley Governor Arturo "Chiongkee" Uy denounced the pronouncement of an Army general that New Bataan town is run by a shadow government of the New People's Army (NPA). "I hope he was just misquoted because I don't believe that barangay officials in Comval are supporting the NPA. I hope that next time they say such statements in their personal capacity and not as head of a military organization. Divisive kasi yung statement na ganoon eh," Governor Uy said in Monday's Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM Davao Events Centre. What's your take on the Mindanao crisis?
