History[]

Political violence[]

The small town of Marcos has seen multiple violent political attacks.

On the morning of June 3, 2017, Mayor Arsenio Agustin was shot in the head and died on the spot after inspecting a project in Barangay Mabuti. Municipal employee Mark Valencia was also shot in the back. The mayor's bodyguards fired back at the gunman but the gunman got away.[7][8]

Just after dark on the evening of April 4, 2017, Vice Mayor Jessie Ermitanio survived an ambush and shootout while driving on an unpopulated section of road between the Padsan River and the Daquioag Elementary school. The vice mayor's driver Lucky Jesrel Rumbaoa died from the gunshots and his security escort Ricky Florendo and Municipal Council staffer Edralin Arellano were injured.[9]

Mayor Agustin had been receiving death threats prior to the shooting and the vice mayor had requested a police escort after he believed he was being stalked when serving as acting mayor in October 2016.

On February 4, 2013, the former mayor Salvador Pillos survived an attack by motorcycle-riding gunmen, who shot him while he was inspecting a project.

On the afternoon of February 23, 2013, the Barangay Fortuna chairman Alfredo Arce was gunned down by a gunman riding tandem on the back of a motorcycle. Arce was shot in the chest and died on the spot.[10]
