A municipal councilor and a policeman were wounded in an ambush by suspected members of the New People's Army (NPA) in Barangay Bigao, Daraga, Albay Friday morning.
Municipal councilor Mark Magalona and his group were on their way home after visiting Barangay San Vicente Grande when they were fired upon by the suspected rebels past 9 a.m.
Magalona was hit on the left leg while one of the group's police escorts, SPO4 John Mallorca, was shot in the chest.
Both victims were rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Authorities said hot pursuit operations are ongoing against the suspects.
Authorities are also investigating if the attack was election-related, noting that Magalona is seeking re-election next year.
