Task force formed on Albay village chief slay
LEGAZPI CITY — The Philippine National Police in Bicol Region disclosed that it has created a special investigation task group to probe the killing of a barangay official in Libon town last Monday. The PNP — through its Albay Provincial Police Office — said that the task force is set to dig deeper on the death of San Jose Barangay Captain Alex Enriquez Repato after filing his certificate of candidacy. APPO spokesperson Capt. Kharren Formales said that the “SITG Repato” has already conducted two meetings and that the investigation is already ongoing, adding that closed-circuit television footage of the incident is now being included in the investigation. “Based on the CCTV footage, two persons were seen riding a motorcycle which matches the testimony of the witness who was with barangay captain Repato before the incident,” Formales said. She added that a continuous probe is being conducted to establish the identity of the suspects. “We are still looking for possible witnesses who can point out who those people are. We are not ruling out that those two people may not be the only ones behind the shooting of barangay Captain Repato,” Formales said. She also stressed that the creation of SITG Repato was in line with the directive of Police Regional Office-Bicol director Brig. Gen. Westrimundo Obinque to conduct a thorough probe into the incident and to relentlessly pursue the perpetrators. “The SITG Repato is under the supervision of the deputy regional director for operation Col. Jesus A. Rebua and the lead and chairman is our provincial director Col. Fernando Cunanan Jr.,” she said. Formales added that Albay PPO, PRO-5 and other units are helping in the investigation by pursuing leads and gathering testimonies from possible witnesses who might shed light on the killing. “PNP-PRO5 strongly condemns the heinous incident. The attack against an innocent individual who only wants to serve the public is unacceptable and despicable. Through the coordination of the relevant agencies and the dedication of the partners in the law, it is expected that the circumstances will be clarified and justice will be achieved for the victims of this violence,” the PRO-5 said in a statement.

600 checkpoints net over 15 Comelec gun ban violators: PNP
Around 15 persons have been apprehended since the start of the Commission on Elections' gun ban on Monday during the first day of filing of the certificate of candidacy for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections, Philippine National Police chief Gen. Benjamin Acorda Jr. said on Tuesday. Acorda said since implementing the gun ban, 15 firearms have been confiscated from more than 600 checkpoints nationwide. The establishment of checkpoints was carried out under Comelec Resolution No. 10924 to effectively implement the ban on firearms and other deadly weapons during the 90-day election period from 28 August to 29 November. The resolution prohibits the bearing, carrying or transporting of firearms or other deadly weapons in public places, including any building, street, park, private vehicle or public conveyance, or even if licensed to possess or carry the same, unless authorized by the Comelec. Acorda also said he has ordered a probe and has a person of interest in the incident that happened in Libon town in Albay where the victim Alex Repato, reelectionist captain of Barangay San Jose, was shot dead by still unidentified assailants in his residence at around 5 p.m. Monday, just hours after he filed his candidacy. “It is unfortunate in Albay we have one case of shooting but we already have a person of interest there and tinututukan ng ating kapulisan. What happened in Albay is election-related but I want to get first 'yung talagang official result of the investigation,” Acorda said on the sidelines of the National Capital Region Police Office's commemoration of its 122nd Police Service anniversary at Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan Taguig City. Addressing the event, Acorda lauded the NCRPO's dedication to the PNP's agenda, which includes the relentless pursuit of justice, commitment to excellence and fostering deep connections with the communities under their care. He extended his congratulations and recognition to the men and women of the NCRPO for their invaluable contributions to upholding the rule of law and ensuring the safety and security of the nation's capital. The ceremony was also marked by the presentation of awards to outstanding officers and units within the NCRPO. The awards recognized excellence across various categories, including community engagement, crime prevention and exceptional acts of valor. The NCRPO's Northern Police District, Eastern Police District, Manila Police District, Southern Police District and Quezon City Police District were feted for their outstanding contributions.

LIBONG PASAHERO, STRANDED!
Iniulat ng Philippine Coast Guard nitong Miyerkules na libo-libong pasahero ang na-stranded at maraming residente ang inabot ng baha sa mga probinsiya sa pananalasa ng bagyong Amang. Ayon sa PCG, tinatayang nasa 1,028 pasahero at 215 rolling cargoes ang stranded sa Matnog, Sorsogon habang stranded na rin ang 330 pasahero at 12 rolling cargoes sa Tabaco, Albay na papuntang Catanduanes. Dagdag pa nito, nasa 200 na pasahero naman sa probinsya ng Quezon ang na-stranded. Samantala, nakakaranas naman nang pagbaha ang bahagi ng highway sa Brgy. San Roque, Bombom, Camarines Sur dahil sa ulan na dulot ng Bagyong Amang. Nakataas ang tropical cyclone wind signal number 1 sa Camarines Sur dahil sa bagyo umpisa pa noong Martes. Ayon kay Police Captain Rechilda Matias ng Bombon, umapaw ang irrigation canal kaya binaha ang kalsada. Malalaking sasakyan lang ang nakadaan dito kaninang madaling araw, pero nakalusot din ang light vehicles nang pansamantalang tumigil ang ulan. May mga bahay na pinasok ng tubig, pero walang naitalang evacuees ang pulisya. “Kung alam naman sir na binabaha yung lugar, mas mabuti pong mas maaga mag-evacuate na po para hindi po iyong hapon or gabi na saka po sila magpapa-rescue. Mas mabuti po na mas maaga silang marescue para wala naman tayong casualties,” saad ni Matias. Naka-2 landfall na ang tropical depression. Una, sa Panganiban, Catanduanes at Presentacion, Camarines Sur. Huling namataan ang sentro ng bagyo sa dagat na sakop ng Caramoan, Camarines Sur, na taglay ang lakas ng hangin na 45 kph at pagbugso hanggang 55 kph.
