A Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) intelligence officer is in stable condition after being shot during a robbery in Makati last Friday night.
The officer was attacked by riding-in-tandem suspects near a carwash around 8:00 p.m. He sustained nine gunshot wounds—eight to the stomach and one to the shoulder.
Initially treated at a nearby hospital in Makati, he was later transferred to another facility and is now recovering. The officer was reportedly on an official mission at the time of the attack.
Authorities said the suspects stole the victim’s necklace, wallet, cellphone, and service firearm. The incident is being investigated as a robbery, but other motives are not being ruled out.
Police have identified the suspects and are currently tracking their whereabouts. The officer’s son, who witnessed the crime, is reportedly traumatized.
