                    [Summary] => BANGUED, Abra — The mayor of remote Tineg town believes that stories belying his ambush last Friday morning were meant to "protect" the perpetrators and "divert the attention of concerned offices."


"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.

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.
