Published Sep 17, 2024 02:54 am

The Muntinlupa City Council passed a resolution condemning the killing of a Muntinlupa police officer and his wife, and the wounding of their daughter. 

At about 1:10 a.m. on Sept. 16, an unidentified gunman shot dead Capt. Aminoden Mangonday, 40, chief of the Muntinlupa Police’s Community Affairs Section and his wife, Mary Grace, 40, and wounded their 12-year-old daughter, Shasmeen Ameena, inside their house at Tierra Villas in L&B Compound, Ilaya Street in Barangay Alabang, Muntinlupa.

Muntinlupa Councilor and Majority Floor Leader Raul Corro said the City Council approved a resolution on Sept. 16 “condemning the violent killing of the late police officer and his wife and the wounding of their daughter.” 

The resolution also called on the police to thoroughly investigate the case and arrest the suspect. 

Meanwhile, the Muntinlupa Police are looking into different angles to know the motive behind the killing. 

"Under investigation pa lahat (Everything is under investigation)," said Col. Robert Domingo, Muntinlupa Police chief. 

The gunman entered the home of Mangonday and went to the second floor. He first saw Capt. Mangonday and shot him on the head. After this, the suspect entered a bedroom and shot Mary Grace, according to Capt. Fernando Niefes, Muntinlupa Police investigator, GMA Integrated News reported. 

Niefes said the daughter, who was also in the bedroom, was also shot by the suspect. She is now in a hospital for an operation. 

He said one of the angles being investigated by the police is Mary Grace’s online selling business. Mary Grace filed a case of qualified theft against three persons. 

According to Niefes, they also have “persons of interest” in the case. 

“Meron na rin po kaming POI at pinag-aaralan naming maiigi. Nasa process po kami ng elimination (We also have POI and we are studying it thoroughly. We are in the process of elimination),” he said. 

Before the incident, the Mangondays celebrated the third birthday of their youngest daughter at a private resort in Los Baños, Laguna. 

Based on Islamic traditions, Mangonday and his wife were buried on Sept. 16 at the Manila Islamic Cemetery and Cultural Hall in San Andres, Manila with the Philippine National Police (PNP) providing funeral honors including police officers serving as pallbearers and a gun salute.
