CEBU CITY — Provincial Board Member Sun Shimura is now securing his 3 children aged 2, 3 and 6 after their convoy, with his stepfather Daanbantayan Mayor Vicente Loot, was ambushed early morning on Sunday.

Shimura said that the family had just docked at Maya Port in Daanbantayan from their trip to Malapascua Island when the shooting happened.

A driver-bodyguard of the mayor was wounded during the incident.

Loot was at the Daanbantayan Police Station to report the incident.

Loot was earlier tagged by President Rodrigo Duterte as a drug protector, an allegation that the mayor denied. /cbb
