Another vigilante?

Reynaldo Q. Bartolome, 33, was found dead on Urbano Velasco Avenue in the village of Pinagbuhatan in the early morning of Tuesday. Hanging around his neck was a piece of cardboard with the message (in Filipino): "Don't be like me. I am a notorious drug pusher. I'm the man of Macmac Payapa." The victim sustained a gunshot wound to the head, and that his killing could be the work of vigilantes.

This might be the work of another vigilante or group of vigilantes. The victim did not have any stab wounds and was not placed in a trash bag, like in the other killings.

Still, why does there seem to be increase in vigilante-style killings lately?
