The mayor of Libungan town, Cotabato province, who was tagged in the government's so-called "narco list" died Monday after he was shot at a construction site, authorities said.
It was the second assassination attempt on Mayor Christopher Cuan in as many years. He escaped unharmed from a shooting near his office in January 2019.
