The Taguig City police have arrested in Brgy. Western Bicutan an unruly construction worker who was allegedly causing public disturbance by indiscriminately firing his improvised firearm.
Police identified the suspect only as Junjun, 30, who was brandishing his home-made gun when the law officers arrived.
Southern Police District chief Brig. Gen. Manuel Abrugena cited his men for their “swift and decisive response” to the incident.
“Illegal possession of firearms remains a serious threat to public safety, especially as the election period approaches. The presence of unauthorized weapons in the hands of individuals can lead to violence, intimidation, and lawlessness, undermining the democratic process,” he said.
