From the Philippine News Agency (May 25): Cagayan town councilor shot dead
A 58-year-old councilor in Allacapan town was shot dead by one of the two motorcycle-riding gunmen at the family-owned vulcanizing and repair shop in Labben, Allacapan, Cagayan on Thursday late afternoon, police said.
Killed was Zaldy Mallari, 58, a first-term councilor since 2016.
Mallari sustained head and body wounds due to the still unknown caliber of gun that caused his instant death.
The gunmen allegedly casually left with an unlicensed motorcycle after killing Mallari.
Police investigators have been eyeing either a personal angle or a work-related motive in the killing.
Police Supt. Warren Tolito, Cagayan police director, said they received reports that the New People’s Army sent text messages claiming responsibility in the killing due to Mallari’s alleged landgrabbing and spying for the government.
Mallari was earlier shot by a gunman few years ago but he survived the attack.
