                    [Summary] => PARANG, Maguindanao — The police and the military have tightened security in this municipality after its mayor and vice mayor both received extortion letters threatening to bomb populated areas if they refuse to shell out P2 million in "protection money" each. 


Since 2000, more than 20 bombings have rocked this politically unstable town, home to some 30,000 Muslims and Christians.


Parang Mayor Talib Abo, chairman of the municipal peace and order council, said he was stunned to receive such an extortion letter.

                    [Summary] => COTABATO CITY — Only four out of over a thousand aspirants for elective positions in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) have so far submitted themselves to mandatory drug tests for candidates in the May 10 polls. 


The latest to undergo drug tests at the ARMM police crime laboratory here were Talib Abo, a mayoral bet in the hostile and controversial town of Parang, Maguindanao, and his running mate, re-electionist Vice Mayor Adnan Biruar.
