SAN FABIAN, Pangasinan – A defeated mayoral bet here was reported to have been abducted by more than 10 uniformed men at around 8 a.m. on March 18 and as of press time, has not surfaced nor did his kidnappers approach his family.

Fourth district board member Liberato Villegas said his younger brother, Roland Serafin Villegas, former Liga ng mga Barangay president here who ran but lost in last year’s polls, was alone driving his Nissan Terrano en route to Barangay Bolasi when he was snatched by armed men on board a number of vehicles and motorcycles.

Villegas said his brother, chairman of Barangay Anonang, goes to the beachfront daily to monitor the progress of a rest house he is building.

The abductors allegedly rode in several vehicles and motorcycles.
Villegas said he had tried to call his brother several times but to no avail. –
