From Tempo (Feb 13): Batangas town council bet slain
STO. TOMAS, Batangas – A candidate for municipal councilor was shot dead yesterday morning by a motorcycle-riding gunman in front of his house at Valle Pio subdivision, Barangay San Pablo, this town.
Superintendent Noel Sanchez, Sto. Tomas police chief, said the victim, Domasino “Caloy” Mabilangan, Jr., 51, who was running under the ticket of Mayor Edna Sanchez, died on the spot from bullet wounds.
Police said the victim was a brother of former New People’s Army’s Banahaw Command leader Leopoldo “Ka Hector” Mabilangan, who was gunned down by his former comrades in 1994.
Based on initial investigation, the victim was doing his regular jogging at about 6:30 a.m. when the gunman shot him several times in front of his residence.
The suspect fled on board a motorcycle as the victim slumped dead on the pavement.
Police probers are looking into a land property dispute and politics as among the motives behind killing.
The victim reportedly received death threats when he was the president of a farmer’s association years ago.
