TRIKE DRIVER SHOT, HURT
A 48-YEAR-OLD trisikad driver was shot by two unidentified assailants in barangay Abugon, Sibonga town, southern Cebu.
Francisco Rama survived the attack. He sustained a minor wound in the right ear.
Revenge could be the motive in the attack, said SPO3 Zacarias Cabaluna of the Sibonga police.
Cabaluna was accused of being an accomplice in the killing of a man in barangay Candaguit last May.
Police said Rama was driving his trisikad headed for Candaguit when two motorcycle-riding men waylaid him past 2 p.m. last Wednesday.
The victim ran and sought help from residents in the area who brought him to the Carcar District Hospital./REPORTER RHEA RUTH V. ROSELL AND PIT INTERN SHEILA MARIE B. BILBAO
