                    [Summary] => BANGUED, Abra — This Abra mayor’s woes are far from over. Before the July 15 barangay polls, he claimed to have survived an ambush while his convoy was negotiating a mountain road in his hinterland town. 


Now, Gov. Vicente Valera has suspended Mayor Clarence Benwaren of Tineg town for 60 days for alleged dishonesty and grave misconduct.


Valera’s preventive suspension order stemmed from a complaint filed against Benwaren by Tineg Vice Mayor Edwin Crisologo.

He was referring to claims by elders and officials of Barangay Tapayen, led by chairman Alfredo Zapata, that no such ambush occurred and that the mayor’s bodyguards were the ones who "raided" the village.
