GENERAL SANTOS CITY — The Commission on Elections has allowed Elsie Ramos, wife of slain re-electionist councilor Edwin Ramos, to take the slot vacated by her husband.
Gunmen on Sunday night killed the re-electionist councilor in Maitum town in Sarangani Province.
The Comelec in Maitum said a vote for Edwin will be a vote for his wife Elsie.
Police report said Edwin Ramos,41, sustained two gunshot wounds after two gunmen fired at him from behind.
The victim was reportedly entertaining guests and supporters at around 7 p.m. at the front yard of the Ramos house in Barangay Maguling in that town when he was shot, police said.
Witnesses reportedly saw two men fleeing after the shooting. The incident happened a day after news reports broke out that Maitum mayor Felix Reganit would be arrested for allegedly masterminding the killing of his predecessor, the late George Yabes.
Yabes was shot dead in December by motorcycle-riding assassins. Reganit has continuously denied he has anything to do with the killing of Yabes.(Sun.Star Davao)
