CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, April 24 (PIA) -- Puerto Galera, a booming tourism town in Oriental Mindoro celebrated Earth Day on Sunday highlighting the rich cultures of the Mangyan natives in Mindoro Island.  
CALAPAN CITY, Philippines – A former municipal councilor in Pinamalayan in Oriental Mindoro was gunned down by an unidentified hitman in an ambush Tuesday (April 24) morning at a crowded public market in the town.


French expatriate Hubert d’Aboville, the lead organizer of the event which had as its theme, “Belongingness to Nature,” said they highlighted the rich cultures of the Mangyans on Earth Day because they wanted the world to emulate the lifestyles of the Mindoro aborigines who protect and conserve the environment in their own way, as they feel that they belong to nature.  
Police Supt. Jonathan P. Paguio, chief of police of Pinamalayan, identified the victim as Nilo L. Panaligan, 63, a resident of Morente St., Brgy. Zone 2, Pinamalayan.


In cooperation with the municipal government of Puerto Galera, D’Aboville, a French businessman who declared Puerto Galera Bay as “one of the most beautiful bays in the world,” led the participants during the whole day program in his demonstration farm at Mount Malasimbo, the town’s highest peak.  
According to the initial police reports by Paguio to Oriental Mindoro Philippine National Police (PNP) provincial director Sr. Supt. Anthony Alcañeces, Panaligan was about to leave the public market with his daughter,Melissa, 30, and was boarding their private vehicle when a man wearing denim jacket casually approached and fired three successive shots at the victim.


The celebration featured rituals, songs, and dances of the Mangyans; a community mass; an environment-inspired on-the-spot drawing contest; and a bike contest.  
A gunshot wound in Panaligan’s temple and two other similar wounds in his lower bodies killed the former councilor.


The Earth Day celebration will now become an annual occasion in Puerto Galera to create environmental awareness among the people in the community, the French environmentalist said. (LBR/DOS/JRMahusay/LTC-PIA4B, Calapan City)
After the shooting, the suspect climbed to a waiting motorbike driven by another unidentified man and sped off in the direction of the town proper.
 
Panaligan died on the spot in the driver's seat of his vehicle, a Toyota Innova.
 
Police recovered three empty shells of a .45 caliber revolver at the scene of the crime, as well as the .45 caliber handgun of the victim, who was said to have taken his service firearm but failed to fire a shot.
 
Police are still investigating the incident. Panaligan served as a municipal councilor in the 1980’s.
