DAVAO CITY – The village chief of Barangay Poblacion in Santa Maria town in Davao Occidental was shot on Monday afternoon inside his home.
In a statement on Wednesday, Governor Claude Bautista of Davao Occidental said the province “mourns the assassination” of Barangay Captain Alex Abe inside his home along Jassi Street in Barangay Poblacion at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
Claude said Abe “has always been known as a dignified dynamic young community leader of the municipality. “
He added that Abe was a “strong advocate” of President Rodrigo Duterte’s campaign against illegal drugs.
“He religiously echoed the guidelines issued by the President on the conduct of anti-drugs operations. He successfully declared his barangay as drug free,” Claude said.
