SURIGAO del Norte Representative Robert Ace Barbers lauded the PNP for its fast action in apprehending the suspect in the shooting incident at the Makati EDSA tunnel.
“The PNP has once again demonstrated its professionalism in the speedy apprehension of Raymund Yu, the Chinese suspect in the killing of a family driver in the Makati EDSA tunnel. The justice system must not relax its processes. The PNP must ensure that thorough investigation is conducted and the guilty perpetrator is put behind bars”, Barbers said.
“We must never put our guard down and make sure that the suspect will not be able to exert any pressure or influence in the investigation up to the conclusion of this case. All eyes are on our law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to ensure that justice will be served”, Barbers added.
Barbers also urged the PNP to look on the matter where the suspect was able to acquire guns and confiscate remaining firearms owned by the suspect, if any.
“Gun ownership should be very well reviewed and must be strictly monitored. In the hands of criminals, the innocent people will be the victims. The state has the duty of protecting the people and strictly limiting gun ownership is a critical part of that responsibility”, Barbers said.
