From the Philippine Star (Apr 21): Village exec
killed in front of family
A barangay councilor who is a political coordinator of a mayoral candidate was
shot dead in front of his wife and daughter in Victoria town, Oriental Mindoro,
Thursday night, police said yesterday.
Amado Villafando Umali, 55, was killed past 8 p.m. inside their house in
Sitio Core Housing, Barangay Loyal by armed men wearing camouflage uniform.
The victim, a distant relative of incumbent Gov. Alfonso Umali Jr. and a
cousin of Nacionalista Party mayoral candidate Lito Malabanan, was shot in the
back of his head.
Witnesses told police the gunmen identified themselves as members of the Army
who were allegedly out to search Umali’s house for weapons.
But when Umali asked the armed men to show them a search warrant, the
suspects reportedly said they were New People’s Army (NPA) rebels and shot the
victim.
