No criminal beyond law’s reach — Martin

Romualdez stated that this type of decisive, coordinated, and humane law enforcement is what the country needs.
He emphasized that the successful resolution of the complex crime showcases the capability of law enforcement when adequately supported, without resorting to extrajudicial means.
