Aquino backs relief of warden over 'VIP treatment' for Ampatuans

President Benigno Simeon Aquino III on Friday backed the decision of Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo to relieve a jail warden over the reported special treatment to the suspects of Maguindanao massacre. “I'm sure if Secretary Robredo did that, he was convinced of the evidence shown," Aquino told reporters after meeting with members of the Filipino community in Thailand. Robredo placed Chief Inspector Glennford Valdepeñas, warden of the Quezon City Jail Annex in Taguig City, under administrative relief. The warden's relief came a day after Maguindanao Governor Esmael "Toto" Mangudadatu, whose wife and sisters were among the massacre victims, showed photographs where Andal Ampatuan Sr., the prime suspect in the case was seen staying outside his detention cell. The President refused to issue further comment “because I haven't seen any of it. I haven't seen the picture or the purported video." “But definitely if that happened, then heads should roll . There should be no VIP treatment. I'm sure he will report to me when I get home," he said. Aquino is expected to return to the country Friday night after his two day state visit in Thailand. - VVP, GMA News
