Medio Bisana, 52, died from gunshot wounds in different parts of his body at the Limay Emergency Hospital.
Bisana’s 46-year-old wife Rowena was struck by stray bullets and was being treated at the same hospital.
A witness Adelaida Lintag informed the police that the couple were having a conversation in front of their house when they were attacked.
Police have not established if Bisana’s murder was election-related. Roque is running for re-election against Bataan board member Gerry Roxas. RAM
