“This is a warning that we will go after all threatening and planning to perform a crime against election opponents, including private armed groups,” he added. In Masbate, a farmer, Abraham Dolore was killed while Nehemias Sayam, a candidate for barangay chairman, and another resident, Jewel Sayam, were hurt in Barangay Tan-awan in Placer town.
“These kinds of incidents are bothersome because our fellow Filipinos are not only hurt but also killed. Running for office must not be a cause to lose someone’s life,” Garcia said.
