(Dhel Nazario) Laborers caught pilfering Two construction workers, who are part of a building’s demolition team, were arrested by Mandaluyong City police Tuesday evening for stealing 17 pieces of electrical wires. The suspects were identified as Joseph Jabulan, 44, and Gon Mansalay, 29, both from Barangay San Rafael, Montalban, Rizal. Police report showed that at around 11 p.m., a security guard at a mall in Ortigas Center made rounds to inspect the area during the said period.

Investigators of the Quezon City Police District identified the victim as Dan Lester Bauyon, a grade 7 student and residing at De Dios Street in Barangay Bagong Silangan, Quezon City. According to a construction worker, he was repairing a riprap at the stretch of Marikina River near Madrid Street in a subdivision in Barangay Batasan Hills around 10 a.m. Wednesday when he saw the body of the victim floating on the water face down. He immediately sought help from barangay officials who pulled the victim's body from the water. While police authorities are conducting investigation on the site, the barangay chairman arrived with a woman named Cherrydel Alfonso, claiming to be the victim's mother. She positively identified the boy who allegedly drowned in the river together with her other son, Dan Lester.

The victim was identified by the police as Marianito Duque, 33, a resident of Ascano St., Barangay 176, Zone 18, Malibay, Pasay City. Duque was pronounced dead on arrival at the San Juan De Dios Hospital due to multiple stab wounds in different parts of the body. Two of the suspects identified as brothers Antonio Picardo, 47 and June Picardo, 44 remain at large, while the other suspect Ricardo Picardo, 22 was arrested by police. Investigation showed that at about 3:20 a.m. Wednesday, a heated argument ensued between the victim and the suspects Antonio and June. According to the report, their squabble eventually got to the point where the victim attempted to pull out a gun. This resulted in a struggle for the possession for the firearm between the victim and the suspects. Two of the suspects managed to take out a knife and an ice pick and proceeded to stab the victim. Authorities were able to arrest Ricardo, while the two other suspects escaped while Duque was brought to the San Juan De Dios Hospital where he later died. (Dhel Nazario)
