BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

Murder charges were filed against a member of the Civilian Armed Auxiliary of the Philippine Army in Negros Oriental for the killing of a barangay captain in Guihulngan City last week.

Guihulngan police chief, Sr. Insp. Alvin Futalan, said Cirilo Tejares, 29, married, was subjected to inquest proceedings Thursday after he voluntarily surrendered to his detachment commander, for the shooting Norberto Recabo, 50, married, barangay captain of Binobohan, Guihulngan.

Tejares told the police that he shot Recabo with a .357 caliber revolver on Feb. 18, after learning that his order for him to kill somebody in their barangay was serious.
