The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will help the
police in pursuing and arresting lawless elements who shot and killed Tungawan
Mayor Randy Climaco and wounded six others Monday afternoon, AFP public affairs
office chief Col. Noel Detoyato said Tuesday during an interview.
Detoyato said that units of the Western Mindanao Command are
now helping the Zamboanga Sibugay Police Office in tracking down Climaco's
killers.

behind the incident which is now being investigated by the local police.

vicinity of Purok 7, Barangay Cayamcam, in the town of Tungawan
The victim had just filed his Certificate of Candidacy and
was on board a pick-up vehicle heading towards Barangay Batungan to Barangay

Wounded in the incident were Tungawan Vice Mayor Abison
Abduraok; San Isidro barangay chair Ernesto Segualan; driver Charlie Dela Cruz;
