CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Pampanga Vice Governor Dennis Pineda, chair of the political party KAMBILAN, has condemned the attack on Sasmuan First Municipal Councilor Jesus “Boyet” Angeles who is set to run as KAMBILAN’s vice mayoral bet in the May 2019 elections.
Angeles was jogging on Dalan Baba in Barangay Sta. Lucia when two men stabbed and shot him at around 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 6, a police report showed.
Angeles took in eight stab wounds and two gun shots, his attending physician said. He is presently confined in an intensive care unit in a local hospital. Shortly after, he was pronounced dead.
The suspects masked their heads and faces with bonnets.
Pineda called the attack “uncalled for and inhumane.”
He urged the police to increase their visibility as the date of the filing of certificates of candidacy for the mid-term elections draws near starting October 11.
“Vice Governor Pineda is praying and hoping that the campaign and election period will be without violence. There should be no life or limbs lost because political contests should be fought fairly and squarely,” Provincial Board Member Rosve Henson said.
Henson said Kambilan candidates were expected to abide by party rules to resort only to peaceful means of campaigning.
VG pineda offers reward of P500k to informants who can provide valid info on the killers of Angeles.
