LUCENA CITY — Two women were shot dead on Tuesday night by unidentified assailants in Tiaong town in Quezon province.
The Quezon police, in a report Wednesday, Nov. 30, identified the victims as Jessica Tambado, 28; and Lani Caya, 26; both with live-in partners and residents of Barangay Talisay in the locality.
