A barangay chairman was shot to death in Norzagaray, Bulacan as he was headed home from a gathering with barangay councilors.
According to Nico Waje's report on "24 Oras Weekend," the victim, Marcelino Punzal, Chairman of Barangay Bangkal, was shot at around 8 p.m. on Friday."Wala naman nababanggit na mga problema dahil ako lang lagi ang araw-araw na kasama yon e. sa aming barangay. Halos lahat natulungan kaya napakainam na tao ni kapitan,” said Manuel Salvador, Barangay Secretary.“Masakit po para sa amin yung pangyayari sa aming magulang. Dahil humantong sa ganitong pagkakataon,” said Nimrod Punzal.
“Nakausap na po natin yung anak, kapatid. Wala naman po silang nababanggit na kaaway ni kapitan. Initial pa lang po yon. lalaliman pa po natin ang pag-conduct ng investigation,” said Norzagaray Police Acting Chief Police Luitenent Colonel Lynelle Soloman.
