From the Philippine Star (Oct 19, 2019): Leyte environment exec shot dead
Police still have no leads in the killing of the municipal environment and natural resources officer of Albuera, Leyte on Friday.
Teofilo Granada, 51, had just driven his Toyota Hilux out of his garage when one of the gunmen opened fire.
Granada managed to get out of his vehicle, but another gunman who was waiting several meters away from his house shot him several times.
The assailants fled on a motorcycle.
Five bullet shells for a caliber .45 pistol and note, which warned politicians and government officials against allowing quarrying and illegal cutting of trees, were recovered at the scene.
Probers are looking at the involvement of New People’s Army (NPA) rebels in the killing.
