For refusing to sell their votes, Ronnie Madera, 22 years old of Brgy. Munting Tubig was killed while his brother Raygan Madera, 18 years old, was seriously wounded.
According to the Ibaan Police Report, at around 1 a.m. Monday, the two gunmen approached the victims inside their house by shouting "tao po". The victims and Ronnie's wife opened the door of their house and stepped outside. The gunmen asked their choice for mayor then pledged three thousand (3,000.00) pesos for the vote of their mayoralty candidate. The wife interrupted and asked who is the mayoralty candidate. Instead, the gunmen asked their names to confirm and when they answered "yes", the gunmen drew their firearms and without any justifiable reason shot the victims several times. With said weapon, victims sustained multiple gunshot wounds on the different parts of their bodies that caused instantaneous death to the first victim (Ronnie) while the second victim (Raygan) was rushed to Queen Mary Hospital for Medical treatment.
