Asis was killed a day after a candidate for barangay chairman and his father were killed in an ambush in Calbayog, Samar. John Bulalacao said the 11 recorded cases of election-related violence involved barangay officials as either the perpetrators or victims. The barangay officials only have themselves to blame for not fulfilling their duties, Diño said. Barangay officials are mandated to establish their respective BADACs under the rules and regulations of the Dangerous Drugs Board. “The BADAC is a weapon of the barangay against illegal drug pushers, dependents and criminals,” he said.
