A billboard in front of the Sangguniang Pambansa in San Pedro Street, Davao City declares slain tribal chieftain Ruben Labawan a hero and a martyr. In a statement, the New People’s Army owned up to the killing, saying that Labawan was “guilty of blood debts and thereby meted with the death penalty for serious crimes against the people.” (Paulo C.
