MANILA, Philippines – A candidate for vice mayor in a Masbate town succumbed to gunshot wounds on Sunday, March 3.
Isagani Lupango, captain of Barangay Tugbo in Mobo, Masbate, died a day after he was shot by unidentified men outside the Mobo Sports Coliseum.
Col. Generoso Bolina, spokesman of the military’s Southern Luzon Command, said Lupango was shot in the stomach and left thigh.
