Superintendent Dominador Ventura, who heads the task force specially created by the Department of the Interior and Local Government, backed previous claims by the Ilocos Sur police that the killing was work-related.


But Ventura brushed off any alleged links of former Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson to the incident due to lack of material evidence.
