At least three killings of Tineg residents in Abra are recorded during the campaign period for the 2025 elections
BANGUED, Philippines – Local police personnel will replace some of the electoral boards in the remote town of Tineg in Abra whose members decided to withdraw under pressure.
Abra PPO Provincial Director Police Colonel Froiland Lopez said that four electoral boards in Tineg had to be replaced and that he already dispatched five police personnel to replace them.
At least three killings of Tineg residents were recorded during the campaign.
The most recent was last April 30 when a woman was shot dead in Sitio Tapayen, Barangay Alaoa, Tineg.
Lopez said that they were able to arrest a suspect and confiscate the shotgun which he used.
Juanito Limis Gammong, the driver of Tineg mayoral aspirant Lenin Benwaren, was shot dead on March 28 in his boarding house in Bangued.
On April 6, Dhemaison Ugan Libeng, said to be a campaign supporter of Benwaren, was shot dead in Gaddani in Tayum town. Benwaren is running against former mayor Edward Crisologo for the Tineg mayoral post.
Lenin’s brother was former Tineg mayor Clarence Benwaren who was shot dead in a church in Laguna in 2002.
Crisologo’s wife, Brenda, was shot in May 2007 while observing the tabulation results in Bangued. She died weeks later. – Rappler.com
