DAGUPAN CITY, Pangasinan—The former vice mayor of Calasiao town in Pangasinan province was found dead in his bedroom on Saturday morning (April 1), apparently after suffering a stroke, according to Calasiao Mayor Joseph Arman Bauzon.
The remains of Ferdinand Galang, who resigned as Calasiao vice mayor in December last year, was found in a kneeling position by a family member in his house in Barangay (village) Mancup.
“It may have been too late to take him to a hospital when he was found,” said Bauzon by telephone, adding that police have ruled out suicide or foul play in Galang’s death.
Galang served as a three-term councilor in the town before he was elected vice mayor in 2004. After a nine-year political lull, he ran and won as vice mayor in the May 2016 elections, but he resigned, citing personal reasons.
