MANILA, Philippines — Three persons, including two suspects, have been gunned down in Bulacan, Ilocos Sur and Pangasinan.
An alias Peter reportedly entered and ransacked the house of Jessie Valderama in Barangay Pulong Buhangin, Sta. Maria, Bulacan at around 2:30 a.m. yesterday.
Valderama was awakened by the barking of his dog. He took his caliber .40 pistol and confronted Peter, who allegedly tried to stab him. Valderama then shot Peter.
Initial investigation showed Peter worked as a mason and painter when Valderama’s house was constructed.
