Alan Dujali offered a PHP500,000 cash reward on Wednesday to anyone who can provide information for the perpetrators in the killing of a newly-elected village chief in Panabo City, Davao del Norte. ‘This culture of violence must be stopped as it has no space in a peaceful society like ours in Panabo City. We must denounce any attack on human life and stand together in fighting those who do not want peace to reign in Davao del Norte,’ the solon said in a statement. The victim, Engr. Paul Albert Saquian, the elected chairman of Barangay Datu Abdul Dadia in the recently concluded Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections, was shot dead by unknown assailants in Purok Mangga of the village on Tuesday afternoon. Saquian was driving his car and on his way home when he was fired upon by two unidentified men who were riding on a motorcycle. He was brought to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival. Whether politically motivated or not, the lawmaker said the “senseless killing is unacceptable and must be strongly condemned.”
