BAYOMBONG,
Nueva Vizcaya – A 54-year-old pastor, who once served as councilor of Lamut
town in Ifugao, was gunned down along the diversion road in Bagabag town this
province Tuesday night.
Chief Insp. Chivalier Irringan, Bagabag police chief, said the victim,
Benedicto Manaol, pastor of the Christ the King Church, suffered five gunshot
wounds, causing his immediate death.
Police said Manaol was on his way home from his farm in Barangay
Dagupan, Quezon town on board his motorcycle when a man on a white vehicle
attacked him at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday.
Police were still probing the killing, the sixth in Bagabag town in less
than a month.
Probers recovered several empty .45-caliber shells from the crime scene.
“We will do our best so we can solve this crime so I ordered the Bagabag
police chief to conduct an investigation and I also dispatched an additional
police force from the provincial public safety company to help the local
police,” said Senior Superintendent John Luglug, officer-in-charge of the Nueva
Vizcaya police.
