Luna, son of Rep. Cecilia Seares-Luna, is the incumbent president of the Association of Barangay Captains (ABC) and is running for mayor of this town.
“There’s nothing wrong with my owning such vehicles,” he said in Ilocano, suggesting that “others may also buy (them) in Caloocan,” where he bought his trucks.
Luna is challenging incumbent Dominic Valera for the post of mayor of Bangued, the third most contested position in Abra, next to governor and congressman.
The mayoralty post has always been the subject of intense rivalry, Bangued being the center of Abra and the province’s income tax earner.
Luna was on board one of his army-type trucks when his convoy was ambushed in the afternoon of April 11.
