Police suspect that communist rebels were behind the killing of Timoteo Ramos, councilman of Barangay Paguiruan, Floridablanca town, based on the manner he was slain.
Ramos was riding a motorcycle driven by one Matias Tuazon when he was waylaid. The ambushers did not harm Tuazon.
Last Tuesday night, barangay councilman Senandro Santos, a security aide of re-electionist Arayat Mayor Luis Espino, survived an ambush also by motorcycle-riding men. – Ric Sapnu
