"I vehemently deny the allegations," Mayor Clarence Benwaren said in a handwritten letter to The STAR.


He was referring to claims by elders and officials of Barangay Tapayen, led by chairman Alfredo Zapata, that no such ambush occurred and that the mayor’s bodyguards were the ones who "raided" the village.

                    [Summary] => BANGUED, Abra — Controversy has greeted reports that the mayor of Tineg town, along with 19 companions, mostly municipal employees, was ambushed last Friday.


This, as residents of Barangay Tapayen, where the ambush allegedly took place, denied the incident and instead accused bodyguards of Tineg Mayor Clarence Benwaren of "raiding" their community and killing a villager.


Abra Gov. Vicente Valera himself belied that such an ambush occurred, alleging that Benwaren had fabricated the incident to justify his request for more Army troops in his municipality.
