MANILA, Philippines – The treasurer of Barangay Zapote II in Bacoor, Cavite was shot dead in front of his eight-year-old daughter and nine-year-old niece in Las Piñas City before dawn yesterday, in what could be considered as the first recorded election-related violence for the barangay polls next month.
In an interview over dzRH, Arasga’s common-law wife, Victoria Navarro, 38, said she believes her husband’s death had something to do with supporting their barangay chairman, re-electionist Ramon Bautista.
“This could be politically motivated because the (barangay) elections are approaching,” she said.
The victim ran for councilor and lost in the previous elections.
Arasga, 48, was in a jeep to take his daughter and niece to Central Elementary School in Pulang Lupa, Las Piñas City when one of the passengers drew a gun and demanded his bag, which reportedly contained an undetermined amount of money.
Arasga resisted, and the gunman shot him in the head along Diego Cera Avenue in Pulang Lupa Uno at around 5:30 a.m.
His daughter and niece were in shock after witnessing the killing, said SPO2 Rolando Abraham. The girls immediately alighted from the jeep with their blood-spattered clothes and walked towards their house, which was three kilometers away, to inform their relatives.
Police are eyeing robbery as the main motive behind the killing as the gunman only fired at the victim after he refused to give up his bag, which reportedly contained money.
Abraham also downplayed Navarro’s statement that the killing was politically motivated. He said while the victim was associated with Bautista, he “was unlikely to become a target because he was just a mere supporter.”
Arasga, however, was the only one robbed and shot among the passengers in the jeep.
Police said the crime was “premeditated” because a cohort on a motorcycle, which was used by the suspect as getaway vehicle, trailed Arasga’s jeep since the victim and the girls boarded the vehicle at Zapote Market in Bacoor.
Arasga owned a money-lending business and usually had petty cash in his bag, Abraham said. He added that when the victim’s body was inspected, police found P13,000 more in his wallet and pocket.
Meanwhile, Abraham said they have already produced a sketch of Arasga’s killer.
Based on a witness testimony, the assailant was between 5’5” and 5’4” in height, dark-skinned, has a thick mustache, and was clad in a black jacket and denim shorts.

Maureen Grace De Jesus of JPA Subdivision, Tunasan, Muntinlupa City, bested seven other interior designers to win the award.
Interior designer Heidrun Milan from Tacloban City won a special prize in the contest.
Metrobank Foundation said De Jesus “will join the elite group of outstanding young artists and designers of the Philippines honored by (the foundation) since 1984.”
“I am very happy with the award,” De Jesus told the Manila Bulletin/Tempo.
De Jesus’ winning design highlighted the use of reclaimed wood.
“With a modern tropical design concept, her entry entitled ‘Rise of the Fallen’ highlights the use of reclaimed wood which also serves as the focal point of the design,” according to Metrobank Foundation.
De Jesus along with other winners in different categories will be feted in an awards ceremony on September 17 at the Le Pavillon in Pasay.
Congrtulations, Maureen!:)

[From a recent email by the new UBFHAI president, Antonio Tinsay.
Mr. Tinsay was the former head of the UBFHAI Water Committee at the height of the resident's agitation for the entry of Maynilad water in the the village.]
“Addressing the horrendous traffic problem inside the village is a major concern of the present board and leadership of UBFHAI. Some of the short term measures we have already taken to mitigate the problem since we asumed office last July 17 are:
First, to not allow incoming deliveries during the morning rush hours;
Second, with the help of the mayor of Parañaque, MMDA will soon install traffic lights in the Concha Cruz/Elizalde and the President Avenue / Elizalde interesections;
Third, we have asked Maynilad to direct their contractors to fast track the restoration work regarding diggings,
Fourth, we have asked MMDA and they have scheduled the “reprogamming” of the traffics lights at Aguirre/Elizalde and Aguirre/Tirona for a more responsive timing intervals (particularly at Aguirre/Elizalde) and blinking yellow lights only from ten pm to 6am.
As for the El Grande/Tropical intersection, UBFHAI in partnership with Bgy. BF International will be repairing the outpost and will be manned by tanods of the barangay and our security guards soon. We will also ask the mayor of Las Piñas City (LPC) and MMDA to install a traffic light in the area.
Flooding also worsens the traffic situation inside our village. In addressing this problem, we have asked our dear Congressman Roy Golez’s help, and I am pleased to inform you that our dear congressman, acting on our request with a lightning-speed haste, made representations with the new leadership at MMDA. Thus, only days after the request was made, MMDA flood control crew “attacked’ the flood prone areas inside our village, notably the Concha cruz/Elizalde area.
To date, per report of the MMDA, they have finished the declogging of the flood-prone areas inside our village. Many, many thanks to our dear congressman, and of course to the new leadership at MMDA.
For our long term plan:
(a) first, we have written the LPC to authorize us not to allow the entry of passing-through vehicles (with LPC friendship stickers) during the morning rush hours only (6 am to 9 am), but the compromise for now is to still allow but they can exit only at the other Las Piñas gates effective 9/06/2010 (this would significantly, reduce the passing through vehicles as they won’t be allowed to exit at the Parañaque and Muntinlupa gates);
( b) second, as soon as the IRR of the Magna Carta becomes effective, which, among others, grants the HOAs the authority to regulate the flow of traffic inside the subdivision, we will make representations with the local governments to assist us in the implementation of this provision of the new law;
(c) third, we have already written to Secretary Singson (the former CEO of Maynilad Water) requesting DPWH to build two (2) flyovers along Sucat Road (one at Lopez, the other at President’s Avenue / MacDo), which request was already endorsed by Cong. Golez;
(d) we are seriously considering putting a cap on the issuance of non-resident stickers. We have also asked the city for a moratorium in the issuance of new business permits and licenses.
We will keep you and all stakeholders posted in the progress we are making in addressing the traffic problem in our village regularly before our brief term ends in February.”
