MANILA, Philippines - Nacionalista Party senatorial candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos yesterday vowed to pursue justice for various politically-related killings in Ilocos Norte, particularly in the town of Dingras.
Marcos Jr., son of former President Ferdinand Marcos, told The STAR that investigations are underway which could shed light on recent murders in the province which prompted various groups to ask the Commission on Elections to declare Dingras a hot spot this coming elections.
Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative board president Lorenzo “Rey” Ruiz was gunned down in September 2009 while barangay chairwoman and NP councilor bet in Dingras Joan Cañete was slain last December.
Ruiz’s murder was said to be related to his re-election bid as head of INEC while Cañete was part of a five-vehicle convoy of the opposition party in Dingras that was riddled with bullets from unknown gunmen last December.
Before the two successive ambush, there was also a slay attempt against Joeffrey Saguid, the Nacionalista Party mayoralty bet in Dingras.
“The cases are making progress. We hope to pinpoint the mastermind of the killings soon,” Marcos said.
