Drug pusher survives assassin's death list in Baguio

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – A drug pusher survived an assassin’s death list along the busy Kayang  Street here Thursday evening, the third to escape death this week after Monday evening’s shooting of two other alleged drug pushers.

Aminolah Macabada Maurangca, 33, from Marawi City, Lanao Del Sur, was reportedly standing in front of an establishment when a medium built masked assassin about 5 feet 4 inches tall wearing a black jacket and ball cap fired at him and fled on foot towards lower Kayang Street.

The assassin’s bullet hit the victim’s cellphone and pierced his chest.

Policemen failed to catch up on the assassin.

Maurangca, who is under observation at the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center, is reportedly the third to survive assassins this week after Hubert Coyoy and Patrick Ngaep who were also shot here Monday evening.
