Dingras, Ilocos Norte—In a bid to hasten its resolution, the League of Municipalities of the Philippines-Ilocos Norte (LMP-IN) chapter is offering PHP100,000 as reward for any information that may solve Marcos mayor Arsenio Agustin’s killing.
To implement this, the group passed five resolutions.
In an emergency meeting held in this town, Dingras mayor Erdio Valenzuela chaired the meeting as he presented the resolutions.
One resolution condemned Mr. Agustin’s killing as “dastardly and barbaric”; the second resolution extended the league’s “deepest sympathy” to Mr. Agustin’s family; two resolutions requested Ilocos Norte police director P/Sr. Supt. Jose Melecio Nartates Jr. to from a special task force for the case and to beef up security for mayors in the province.
The last resolution called for the PHP100,000 cash reward for “vital information” that could help solve the case.
Mr. Valenzuela disclosed that PHP50,000 of the reward would come from the LMP chapter here. However, he clarified that this is dependent on whether the Commission on Audit (COA) will allow this. If disallowed, the Dingras mayor said the league’s members will contribute to come up with the amount.
The other PHP50,000, Mr. Valenzuela added, will come from LMP national president Maria Fe Villar Brondial. Ms. Brondial is the mayor of Socorro, Oriental Mindoro.
“Daytoy ket iti pinangipakita mi iti liga ti inkam pannakipagrikna iti ipupusay iti maysa met a nasayaat a miyembro,” Mr. Valenzuela said.

Most LMP-IN members attended the meeting. Absent were the Nueva Era, Currimao, Dumalneg and Vintar mayors.
