PHThe vice mayor of Marantao town in Lanao del Sur, Eli Eskandar, has been arrested by the Philippine National Police (PNP) on two separate charges: murder and frustrated murder. This arrest occurred on Friday, and the PNP confirmed the incident on Saturday. The article references another related report about the PNP recording 15 violations of the gun ban in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) since the beginning of the election period. However, this additional information appears to be a separate piece of news included in the article. No further details about the specific circumstances surrounding Eskandar’s arrest or the nature of the alleged crimes were provided.
