MANILA, Philippines - A barangay chairman from Zamboanga Sibugay, attending a disaster seminar in Metro Manila, was gunned down in Pasig City yesterday.


Eastern Police District (EPD) director Chief Superintendent Miguel Laurel said the killing of Adjed Yusof, chairman of Barangay Mamagin, could have something to do with his job.
ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines—Animal welfare groups and individuals touched by the dog Kabang’s act of saving two girl’s from harm in December are moving heaven and earth to help at least one of her masters accompany the pet to the United States for reconstructive surgery to restore the dog’s lost upper jaw.
 
The problem is that neither Rudy Bunggal nor his wife, Christina, has documents needed to obtain a passport or other travel documents.
“He was assassinated. The gunman could have followed him here and carried out his plan,” said Laurel as he ordered Superintendent Alfredo Calama-an, officer-in-charge of the Pasig City police, to coordinate with airport authorities for the possible identification of Yusof’s killer.
Dr. Anton Lim of the Tzu Chi Foundation here said they were trying their best to help the couple.
 
The main problem so far, Lim said, is that none of the Bunggals has a birth certificate.
Yusof sustained a lone gunshot wound in the head, the bullet exiting at the back. Nobody witnessed the shooting, prompting Laurel to theorize that a “sniper” shot him.
Lim said it was important for Kabang to have either Rudy or his wife during the surgery in California as it would hasten the dog’s recovery.
 
Kabang is so attached to her masters that one of them, at the least, should be with her, he said.
Yusof and his fellow members of the Liga ng mga Barangay in Zamboanga Sibugay arrived in Metro Manila recently to attend the disaster seminar sponsored by Barangay San Antonio.
But it seems bureaucratic red tape was getting in the way.
 
Lim said Rudy had gone to the National Statistics Office here for a copy of his birth certificate but there was none, so he was  advised to “go back to the place where he was officially registered by his parents.”
He was about to step into a bus waiting for them along Escriva at about 4:20 p.m. when he suddenly fell to the ground, bleeding. He died on the spot.
Lim said the NSO also asked Rudy to produce the marriage certificate of his parents or birth certificate of any of them. But his parents never married,  and he was unsure where his parents were born, he said.
 
The Bunggals originally came from Bogo in Cebu but migrated to Payao in Zamboanga Sibugay when Rudy was 9 years old.
Barangay official Dr. Melvin Villaruz said their seminar started at 2 p.m. yesterday and ended two hours later.
Rudy told the Inquirer that his father had died and he heard that his mother was  in a home for the elderly.
 
“My mother is also a ‘kolorum’ (no birth documents),” he said.
Yusof and his companions were on their way to a hotel to Manila, where they were billeted for several days.
Ramona Consunji of the Animal Welfare Coalition said they were appealing to the NSO to give special  consideration to Rudy’s case.
 
“It’s very important for Nong Rudy to be with Kabang before, during and after surgery, I can see their connection. Kabang strongly responds to him,” Lim said.
Chairman Reynaldo Dones, of Barangay Sta. Clara in Naga, Camarines Sur said he and Yusof were about to board a rented bus with license plate PXY-237 when the sound of gunfire rang out. Dones said he was checking himself for gunshot wounds when Yusof fell down.
Consunji said they were hoping that the assistance offered by Vice President Jejomar Binay could fast-track the issuance of a birth certificate to either Rudy or Christina.
 
Dones said he did not notice any gunman.
