The municipal mayor of Sto. Niño in South Cotabato who is said to be in the government's narcolist was gunned down by unidentified suspects on Friday morning.

According to a police report, Mayor Pablo Matinong Jr, 55, was checking the municipal road project around 8am at Purok Libertad in Barangay Poblacion when suspects onboard a motorcycle arrived and shot him twice in the head.

The suspects fled but returned to shoot the victim again before finally leaving. Unfortunately, a woman bystander was also shot on her left shoulder.

Matinong and the woman were rushed to hospital but Matinong was pronounced dead on arrival. The woman is being treated.
