From the Philippine News Agency (May 9, 2023): Riding-in-tandem gunmen kill Zambo Sur village exec (By Teofilo Garcia, Jr.)
ZAMBOANGA CITY – The Zamboanga del Sur provincial police office ordered Tuesday an thourough probe over the killing of a village chief by suspected hired gun in Tambulig town.
Col. Diomarie Albarico, provincial police director, issued the order after Edgardo Surigao, 57, was killed by riding-in-tandem gunmen in Barangay Gabunon, Tambulig, on Monday morning.
Surigao, the chief of the same village, was driving a motorcycle on the way to the town proper of Tambulig when repeatedly shot by two men on another motorcycle that tailed him.
Initial investigation showed that the gunmen stopped and returned to finish off Surigao, who crashed on the pavement after he was hit twice.
Albarico said the suspects -- clad in black jackets, black crash helmets and blue jeans -- sped towards Bonifacio town, Misamis Occidental.
Villagers rushed the victim to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival by the attending physician.
Recovered at the crime scene were four empty shells from a .45-caliber pistol.
