Six Gunmen in Military Uniforms Fatally Shoot Governor and Five Civilians in Central Philippines

On Saturday, a tragic incident occurred in the central Philippines when gunmen in military uniforms fatally shot a governor and five civilians. The governor, Roel Degamo, was meeting with villagers at his home in Pamplona town when at least six men alighted from three SUVs and opened fire on him and the five other people in front of his home.

According to Pamplona Mayor Janice Degamo, the wife of the slain governor, the five villagers also died. She expressed her shock and grief at the incident and demanded justice, saying her husband “did not deserve that kind of death.”

This is the latest in a series of brazen assaults on local politicians in the Philippines. Police are investigating the incident and have yet to determine the motive behind the attack.

The Philippine government has condemned the attack and expressed its condolences to the families of the victims. They have vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future.

This tragic event serves as a reminder of the dangers that local politicians face in the Philippines. The government has promised to take steps to protect them and ensure their safety.
