(UPDATED) Ferdinand 'Dindin' Bas, the former barangay captain of Lagtang, Talisay City, is found dead by the police after his live-in partner, Charmaine Anton, called them

CEBU CITY, Philippines (UPDATED) – A former barangay captain who was named by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency as among the alleged narco-politicians of Cebu, was found dead inside his aparment in Sibonga on Monday, October 8.

Ferdinand “Dindin” Bas, the former barangay captain of Lagtang, Talisay City, was found dead by the police after his live-in partner, Charmaine Anton, called them at 6:45 am, saying Bas had been shot.

Anton had been in Talisay City when the tragedy happened. She told police it was their caretaker, Josephina Bilyones who told her of the incident.

Katong caretaker, sila raman didto, ang anak sa caretaker, ang caretaker ug si sir Bas, (The caretaker, they were the only ones there. And her child, and sir Bas,)” said SP04 Darline Banogon, Deputy Chief of the Sibonga Police Station. The caretaker lives in a payag or a nipa hut, in front of the rented house.

According to Banogon, the suspects broke into the house using a gas tank. 

A report in Sibonga Police Station said they received at around 1 am a call regarding a shooting alarm in the area. When the police got there, it was quiet and no one was there so they decided to leave. 

Ni responde ang atong kapusilan didto, pero walay mutug-an asa to ang buto naga gikan, mao to pagka human, ni uli nalang mi sa police station,” Banogon said, and waited for someone else to call, to report about the incident.

(The police responded but no one was telling us which house it was, after that we went back to the station)

She also said that there was no drugs or firearms recovered at the scene of the crime.

“In fact karon lang mi nakahibaw nag abang diay siya diha, since July 5,” (In fact, we just found out that he was renting there, since July 5) said the deputy chief.

Ang amo gi tan-aw ani, basin naa siya gi tago-an. Si Bas is involved sa drugs ha? He’s been noted, nadakpan siya ing-ana.” said PRO-7 Regional Director Debold Sinas.

(We think that maybe he was hiding. Bas is involved in drugs. He has been noted, he has been caught.)

Sinas also said, they would still be do follow ups to find out what Bas in Sibonga.

The slain Bas was the father of the slain barangay councilman Art Stephen, who was also killed last July, while he was driving to school. The suspects in the slaying of Art Stephen were unidentified men riding in motorcycles, 

The police clarified that Stephen was not on their list of illegal drug personalities. – Rappler.com
