The party’s national body has joined the cause while expressing shock at the incident.
“On behalf of the leadership of our great Party, I send our sincere condolences to the family and the electorate and assure them of our unwavering support at this difficult time,” Freddie Blay said in a statement.
The declaration signed by its National President on Friday is read in more detail; “This is a sad day for the Party and the country as a whole.”
“We call on law enforcement agencies to urgently investigate and report the perpetrators of this cruel act,” said the PNP.
