AGOO, La Union: Former La Union Second District representative Eufranio Eriguel and two of his bodyguards were gunned down at 7 p.m. on Saturday in a barangay (village) election gathering in the village of Capas here. His bodyguards, identified as Bong Tubiera and Bobby Ordinario, tried to shield Eriguel from the assailants, but were also killed on the spot. His wife Sandra, incumbent representative of the 2nd district of La Union, survived the attack as she was inside her service vehicle when the shooting took place. In a previous interview, Eriguel said he would run for another term as representative of the 2nd district. In 2010, Eriguel was elected to the House of Representatives as a candidate for the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), representing the 2nd District of La Union.
