Authorities reported that a barangay chairman of Dasmariñas City, Cavite and his wife are recovering after being shot by an unknown assailant last Saturday.

Initial investigations disclosed that Benjamin Macalalad Marcha — a barangay chairman of Luzviminda 1 and his wife Loida — were riding a patrol car early in the morning when the incident happened.

Police are still investigating if it was an election-related incident as Marcha won his second term in the recently held Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections last 30 October.

Authorities have released the photo of the suspect on social media.

Meantime, Dasmariñas City Representative Elpidio Barzaga and Mayor Jennifer Barzaga are giving a P100,000 reward to anyone who can provide information on the identity of the suspect.
