ILOILO CITY - Militant party-list groups have filed a complaint before the Commission on Elections for the destruction of their campaign materials posted in designated areas in Iloilo City.
In a letter submitted to Elizabeth Doronilla, election officer of the province and city of Iloilo, the party-list group Bayan Muna said their posters have been "sabotaged" in city public plazas in the districts of Jaro, La Paz, and City Proper.
Bayan Muna-Iloilo spokesperson Winefredo Doblizo said
their posters were destroyed or removed simultaneously between 1:30
a.m. to 6 a.m. on March 19 during a blackout that affected the entire
city.

Prosecutor
dismisses raps The City Prosecutor's Office has dismissed the criminal complaint against the suspect in a murder in August last year in Dumaguete City. Cleared of the charge was Jimmy Laranjo, who was linked to the killing on Aug. 25, 2006 of Jose Zamora Paligsa whose slay was part of a series of "vigilante" type killings by motorcycle-riding assailants who cover their faces with bonnets. Records showed that Paligsa was shot several times in front of
the Dumaguete Auto Parts Commercial Inc., by a gunman who immediately
boarded a motorbike driven by another man to escape. The victim's
family, assisted by counsel Raymund Mercado, presented several witnesses
they identified as having the same physical features of "Kikid,"
which is the childhood nickname of Paligsa. |
