Former Pagbilao, Quezon Mayor Romeo Portes died last week in a Taguig hospital where he was undergoing treatment after being shot in the face.
Portes was attacked by an unidentified riding in-tandem gunman last Nov. 24 while sitting in front of a commercial building owned by one of his children in Barangay Bukal for still-unspecified reasons.
Portes’s daughter, Shieree Ann Portes-Palicpic, is the incumbent mayor of Pagbilao.
The victim’s family has put up a P500,000-reward for information leading to the arrest of the killers of Portes.
