3 persons of interest in Bukidnon shooting incident identified —PNP
Five individuals were injured during a shooting incident that disrupted a political activity of presidential aspirant Leody de Guzman with Lumad farmers in Bukidnon.
The incident occurred in Barangay Butong, Quezon, Bukidnon, where De Guzman was supporting the Manobo-Pulangiyon tribe's complaint of land grabbing.
De Guzman claimed military personnel nearby did nothing to intervene and accused Quezon Mayor Pablo Lorenzo III of being behind the shooting.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has identified three persons of interest in the shooting incident and is awaiting witness statements.
A police forensics team processed the plantation where the shooting happened and confiscated firearms from property security personnel for gunpowder residue examination.
The PNP stated that it is still premature to say that the shooting is election-related, and suggested the incident stemmed from a legal dispute between the indigenous people and a corporation.
