For those who still don’t know yet, San Pablo City Councilor Danny Yang was killed in an ambush at Barangay Bautista, San Pablo City.
A city councilor, his bodyguard, and a former village captain were killed while two others were wounded in an ambush by at least six gunmen on Wednesday, police said yesterday.
One of the assailants was also killed when the bodyguard returned fire before he died.
Police identified the dead as Danilo Yang, councilor and noted anti-illegal drug advocate; his bodyguard Brando de los Santos; and Romulo Barcenas, former captain of Barangay (village) Santiago 2. – Inquirer.Net
Was the killing politically motivated? With the upcoming 2010 National and Local Elections, we can only assume that it was. National and Local Elections in our City are generally peaceful and I hope that this does not start a trend of violence as we get nearer to 2010.
