While investigations of the Degamo shooting incident are still ongoing without any new updates, Degamo is currently in a hospital in #Dumaguete.
Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo has passed away after succumbing to gunshot wounds.
Six perps with long firearms who assassinated Degamo were identified, while ten perps ran away after abandoning their vehicles at Bayawan City, located W of Pampalona City, Negros Oriental.
Philippine President Bongbong Marcos and Philippine officials, including Harry Roque, condemn the assassination of Degamo.
A video footage of the assassination of Degamo has been revealed.
Checkpoints have been deployed by Philippind authorities in Negros Oriental to aid in the manhunt of the assassins of Degamo.

Meanwhile, Fritz Diaz, who is a relative of Degamo, said that the assassination is likely politically-motivated.
Pictures of the vehicles used by the assassins of Degamo have been revealed.
Three suspected perps (two of them former Philippine troops), are in custody for possible involvement in the assassination of Degamo.
It was revealed that the perps were from Mindanao and La Castellana, Negros Oriental, and they were paid Php10M to initiate the attack on Degamo's residence.

For a brief background of Degamo before his assassination, you may kindly refer to this #dailysoup entry of mine 👇
There has been a post circulating in soc-med on a possible connection between the Oct. 2022 unseating of Teves and the assassination of Degamo.

However, this is just mere speculation and it is not final yet until official investigations discover evidence.
Senator Imee Marcos will declare a "state of emergency" over Negros Oriental after the assassination of Degamo.
One of the assassins of Degamo used to serve as a security aide of Cagayan De Oro 2nd District Representative Rufus Rodriguez.
The arrested assassins of Degamo were former Philippine troops who were discharged from the Philppine Army for "violating Articles of War".
Arnie Teves stated that he and his brother, Henry Teves (the rivals of Degamo), "won't benefit from Degamo's assassination".
However, Arnie Teves added that "he is expected to be implicated in the Degamo assassination".

I can smell something fishy here.
Philippine authorities have obtained leads that can pave the way to information on the mastermind of the Degamo assassination.

Names of the arrested three ex-soldiers involved in the assassination of Degamo are revealed: Joric Labrador, Joven Javier, and Benjie Rodriguez. All of them were from Mindanao and were dismissed for desertion.

Labrador had another illegal drugs case.

For today's #dailysoup, I will talk about the causes of the Three Kingdoms Period of #China.

This is for immersion x context purposes as @mydearfaye is currently streaming "Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty", which takes place during that period.

More info in this 🧵.

What preceded the Three Kingdoms Period (220 AD - 280 AD) was the #Han Dynasty, which was marked with an expansive economic and political power, making it one of the greatest classical civilisations.

Just like any other empire, the Han Dynasty experienced its own downfall.

2/18 Image
Four main theories behind the fall of the Han Dynasty are explained by Chinese historians.

These theories are: internal struggles, the rising power of the empress x court eunuchs over child emperors, external struggles, and rebellions.

For today's #dailysoup, I'll talk about Efraim Genuino, a former PAGCOR chairman who was involved in many corruption stints during his term.

Story: A gov't-controlled gambling corporation funded a political party, coffee shops, and a swimming complex.

More info in this🧵.

1/17 Image
From 2001-10, Genuino served as the chairman of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), a government-controlled corporation handling casinos in my country, the Philippines.

2/17 Image
When Cristino Naguiat succeeded Genuino as PAGCOR chairman in 2010, he discovered that from 2003-10, funds from Genuino-led PAGCOR were diverted to the entities of a "party-list" (miniature political party in my country) named BIDA Foundation.

For today's #dailysoup, I'll talk about Roel Degamo, a former governor of Negros Oriental, a province in my country, the Philippines.

He served five terms as governor until his assassination in 2023. However, he was shrouded with controversies.

More info in this 🧵.

1/20 Image
After spending his time as a driver, plant mechanic, and electrical control operator for the National Power Corporation, Degamo became the governor of Negros Oriental in 2011 after former governor Agustin Perdices passed away.

2/20 Image
In December 2011, during Degamo's first tenure as governor, Arnie Teves (the older brother of Degamo's rival, Pryde Henry Teves), together with seven other "guns-for-hire" people, were charged for attempting to assassinate Degamo.
