BAGUIO CITY: A Sangguniang Bayan (SB) candidate in Baay-Licuan town in Abra was killed by alleged New Peoples Army (NPA) guerillas on Tuesday afternoon over his alleged refusal to pay the P20,000 permit-to-campaign fee imposed by the rebels.

Crispin Maguelang was reportedly taken by the rebels from his house in the village of Dominglay, Baay-Licuan and brought to a remote barangay, Bayabas, in Malibcong town, where he was shot dead.
