COTABATO CITY , Philippines – The municipal accountant of Parang, Maguindanao was killed and his driver was wounded in an ambush in Maguindanao yesterday, just three days after suspected guns-for-hire killed an election officer in North Cotabato.

The ambush took place less than 300 meters away from the municipal police station.
