The Pateros municipal government is offering a reward of P300,000 to anyone who can provide information about two men who are suspects in the shooting and killing of a former Sangguniang Kabataan kagawad and a co-owner of a lechon business. 

The victim was identified as Mark Herman Tañga, 25, a resident of Pateros, who was shot and killed by two men at about 10 p.m. at the corner of Gen. Luna Street and Camia Street in Barangay Ususan, Taguig on Nov. 27. 

Tañga served as SK kagawad in Pateros from 2018 to 2023. He was also the co-owner of the family owned Lamberta’s Lechon in Pateros. 

Tañga graduated at De La Salle University with a degree in Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in 2022 and took Juris Doctor at San Beda University.

“Mariing kinokondena ng Pamahalaang Bayan ng Pateros, sa pangunguna ni Mayor Gerald German, ang walang-awang pag hold-up at pagpaslang kay Mark Herman Tañga, isang kabataang taga-Pateros at naglingkod noon bilang SK Kagawad, na biktima ng karahasang hindi dapat nangyayari sa ating komunidad. Hindi po natin palalampasin ang ganitong uri ng krimen (The Pateros Municipal Government, led by Mayor Gerald German, strongly condemns the ruthless hold-up and murder of Mark Herman Tañga, a young man from Pateros and former SK Kagawad, who was the victim of violence that should not happen in our community. We will not tolerate this type of crime),” the Pateros municipal government announced on Facebook. 

It added, “Upang mapabilis ang paghuli sa salarin, ang Pamahalaang Bayan ay naglalaan ng P300,000 pabuya para sa sinumang makakapagbigay ng makabuluhang impormasyon na makakatulong sa pagkakakilanlan at pag-aresto sa mga responsable (To expedite the arrest of the perpetrator, the Municipal Government is offering a P300,000 reward for anyone who can provide meaningful information that will help in the identification and arrest of those responsible.”

"Mahigpit na pangangalagaan ang pagkakakilanlan ng sino mang mag-uulat. Mananatiling anonymous ang lahat ng impormasyon (The identity of anyone reporting will be strictly protected. All information will remain anonymous),” it said. 

Pateros Mayor Gerald German posted, “Kailangan natin ng katarungan. Kailangan ring matigil ang karahasan! We cry #JusticeForMarkTañga (We need justice. The violence must also stop! We cry #JusticeForMarkTañga).” 

According to the Taguig police, the two suspects were on board a motorcycle when they shot  Tañga. 

The suspects took Tañga’s belongings and his motorcycle and fled.  Tañga was taken to the Taguig Pateros District Hospital but died at 10:24 p.m. due to multiple gunshot wounds. 

The victim’s relatives told police that Tañga carried cash placed in a sling bag which was taken by the suspects. The police said possible motives could be robbery and carnapping. 

The Taguig police’s Ususan Sub-station 4 and tracker teams conducted operations for the arrest of the suspects. 

CCTV footage led to the identification of one of the suspects, alias Sonny, a 27-year-old man who has standing warrants of arrest for robbery, robbery with violence, violation of anti-carnapping law and murder issued by multiple courts in Taguig. 

Anyone who has information may call 09369518626 or 8424-8370 local 101.
