Baungon barangay councilor, 1 other killed; 4 injured
Wow, I must say, WOW. Just WOW. Been gone for only a few days for a quick overseas trip and all I managed to gather as latest Bukidnon news are negative stuff! What is going on, Bukidnon?
Case in point: just a mere few days after a Talakag, Bukidnon barangay chairman got ambushed, here’s another news item that says a barangay councilor in Baungon, Bukidnon was killed, too!
Yeah, like I said — WOW. Just WOW.
It’s so disheartening to stumble upon news items like these. Just when we all want to have peace and order in the province, we hear of ambushes, killings, floods, rebel attacks etc etc.
Again, I cannot help but wonder — IS BUKIDNON STILL SAFE?!
With all these negative news, how are the tourism and business programs coming along?
What is the Provincial Government of Bukidnon doing to address these issues?
Is the Provincial Tourism Office doing something to still lure in tourists and guests to the province despite these incidents?
Is the Provincial Governor, Provincial Vice Governor, the Baungon mayor and Baungon vice mayor and all other concerned government officials ready to issue a statement to assure the rest of the people of Bukidnon that this province is still safe and secure and that these attacks are just “isolated incidents”?
Boy, I’m just too devastated to continue. All I want right now is to know if justice will ever be served and if my relatives in Bukidnon will still be kept safe.
In the meantime, if you want to know what happened to the Baungon barangay councilor who got killed, read below:
