Statement of the Commission on Human Rights strongly condemning the killing of the former vice mayor of Aurora, wife, and driver

The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) strongly condemns the killing of former Dipaculao, Aurora vice mayor and former board member of Aurora’s second district, Engineer Narciso Amansec, who was ambushed on Monday, 3 October 2022, in Barangay Dibutunan. His wife, Merlina Amansec, and their driver, Leonard Talosa, also suffered fatal gunshots which led to their demise. This incident is an outright violation of the right to life.

CHR has already dispatched a Quick Response Operation to independently investigate the case to help pursue the truth and justice for the victims.

We similarly note the immediate action of the Dipaculao town police in probing the incident, with hopes that the heightened attention on this case will eventually find the perpetrators so they may be held to account.

In a society that respects human rights and dignity, killings and other transgressions against human life have no place. Let us continue to resist normalising violence and start inculcating once again a culture that puts primacy to human life and rights.

CHR extends its condolences to the family and loved ones of spouse Narciso and Merlina, as well as those left by Leonard Talosa. ###
