Zamora criticizes Ejercito for malice in monument transfer

San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora criticized Senator JV Ejercito for 'putting malice' into the plan to relocate monuments of national heroes in San Juan.

Zamora said the local government had secured approval from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) for the transfer, while Ejercito expressed dismay over moving the statues to a less visible location.

Ejercito appealed to Zamora and NHCP to reconsider the relocation plan, calling it a 'national issue' and emphasizing that these monuments are symbols of heroism.
