ILAGAN CITY, Philippines – The mayor of Maconacon, Isabela, who was shot dead at a parking lot of an inn in Quezon City, was buried in a public cemetery in her coastal town yesterday.
The husband of Erlinda Domingo, Celso Domingo Sr., did not come home from Texas, USA to attend her funeral.
The mayor’s eldest daughter, Liezel Domingo-Vicente, 24, has yet to decide whether to substitute for her mother in the mayoral elections. The young Domingo is a nurse at the rural health office.
Should Vicente refuse the party nomination, the slain mayor’s political rival, Walter Villanueva, who is among those being eyed in her killing, will run unopposed.
