Isabela mayoral bet’s house, campaign HQ fired at

TUGUEGARAO CITY, Philippines – Unidentified men fired at the house and campaign headquarters of a councilor seeking the mayorship of San Mateo town in Isabela last Tuesday morning, police said.

No one was reported hurt in the attack which occurred as supporters of mayoral bet Santos Villamar were preparing for their campaign sorties that day.

Earlier this week, armed men also fired at the houses of two village chiefs and a political supporter in nearby Luna town.

San Mateo and Luna towns are part of Isabela’s third congressional district tightly contested by incumbent Rep. Pol Dy and former vice governor Ramon Reyes.
