Daughter of slain Sasmuan councilor running for VM

ANNEY May Angeles, 25, will run for vice mayor to replace her father, slain Sasmuan councilor Jesus "Boyet" Angeles, and keep his legacy in public service alive.

Angeles filed her certificate of candidacy under Kambilan last week.

The elder Angeles was chosen by Kambilan party as its candidate for vice mayor a few days before he was attacked last October 6.

A police report showed Angeles was jogging on Dalan Baba in Barangay Sta. Lucia when two men stabbed and shot him around 6:30 a.m. on October 6. He was the number one councilor in Sasmuan.

Anney May on Monday asked Vice-Governor Dennis "Delta" Pineda, Kambilan vice-chair, to help bring her father's killers to justice.

Earlier, the vice-governor put up a reward of P500,000 for informants who could provide valid information on the identities and whereabouts of the killers and mastermind.

Vice-Governor Pineda called the attack “uncalled for and inhumane.”

Anney May has expressed suspicion that the local police's investigation could have been compromised because a possible suspect was spared from questioning after a local candidate met with the municipal police.

She said Senior Superintendent Nicolas Salvador, Pampanga police director, should send a separate investigating team to conduct an independent, serious and all-out probe of the killing.
