On July 2, 2018, Antonio Halili, the mayor of Tanauan, Batangas in the Philippines, was shot by an unknown shooter during a flag ceremony at the city hall. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where was pronounced dead at 8:45 A.M. (PhST), less than an hour after the shooting. He was the second mayor of Tanauan to be assassinated after Cesar Platon in April 2001.
Following the assassination, the Philippine National Police launched an investigation, where at least three people are involved according to the authorities.[1] Several angles were investigated as possible motives, including Halili's controversial campaign against drugs during his tenure as mayor of the city, though there were no suspects publicly named or apprehended.
