March 29, 2021 JUST IN

BAGUIO CITY (March 28, 2021) – A member of the Barangay council of Dalimag, San Isidro town in Abra immediately died moments after he was shot by an unidentified gunman around 10:15PM Saturday night.
Alberto Pacsa Sotelo, 47, from sitio Calaoi, was reportedly on his way home on board his motorcycle when the gunman came close and shot him.
Sotelo was rushed to the Abra Provincial Hospital in Bangued, Abra’s capital, according to the San Isidro town police, but was declared dead on arrival by Dr. Christian Azurin.
Abra police are still groping in the dark what prompted the killing, while still also cannot ascertain how hired assassins still lurk in the province, once touted as Cordillera’s “Killing Fields” for the unending gun-related violence in that northern province.
Sotelo’s family meanwhile called on investigators to get into the bottom of the killing while seeking justice for the yet senseless murder tainting the province’s image.
