Aga Muhlach backers riot in CamSur

NAGA CITY—Agitated by the long wait for the results of the elections in the fourth congressional district of Camarines Sur, supporters of Aga Muhlach attacked the municipal hall of Tigaon just hours before the actor’s opponent, Felix William “Wimpy” Fuentebella, was proclaimed winner.

The riot started at 7:30 p.m. when Muhlach’s supporters accused the military of breaching an agreement between their leaders and Aga’s elder brother, Albert, and Lt. Col. Lenart Lelina, head of the 42nd Infantry Battalion.

At least 2,000 supporters of Muhlach kept vigil at the town hall to show their indignation at the slow canvassing of the votes which they alleged were being manipulated by supporters of Fuentebella when the riot erupted.
