The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) now has a person of interest who could be behind the killing of a 63-year-old official of the House of Representatives during his daughter’s birthday party in Barangay Commonwealth, Quezon City on Sunday, June 15.
According to the QCPD, the incident occurred at around 2:55 p.m. when two unidentified suspects entered the party venue and shot the victim at close range.
The victim was identified as Mauricio Pulhin, Chief of Technical Staff of the Committee on Ways and Means at the House of Representatives.
Pulhin was rushed to the FEU-NRMF Hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
The suspects fled the scene on a motorcycle, firing at a subdivision security guard as they escaped.  
Police officers from Batasan Police Station 6 and members of the Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) responded to the incident.
Ito pong ating biktima ay empleyado ng Kamara. Ngayon po ay inaalam pa namin ang motibo nitong krimen ng pamamasalang. Agad naman tayong nakaresponde at naisugod pa natin itong biktima sa ospital pero ito'y dead on arrival (Our victim is an employee of the Chamber. We are currently investigating the motive for this crime. We responded immediately and rushed the victim to the hospital, but he was dead on arrival),” Batasan Police station commander Col. Romil Avenido said.
Mayroon pong birthday party, bandang pasado alas-12 ng tanghali ay pumasok itong riding-in-tandem doon sa gate 2 ng subdivision and by 2:55 p.m. ay nangyari po ang pamamaril, at doon na sila nag-exit sa may gate 1. After nila naputukan 'yung victim natin, pag-exit nila roon sa gate 1, pinutukan nila 'yung guard house roon (There was a birthday party, around 12 noon this riding-in-tandem entered gate 2 of the subdivision and by 2:55 p.m. the shooting happened, and that's where they exited through gate 1. After they shot our victim, when they exited through gate 1, they shot at the guard house there),” he added.
Avenido also said that the suspect surrendered a lost ID of a different person to gain entry into the subdivision.

Agad-agad po nating na-identify, na-locate, at na-put under police custody itong may-ari ng ID na naiwan doon sa guard house, only to find out na matagal na pa lang nawala 'yung ID niya which is two years ago (This crime was well-planned. They really studied this place carefully so they used a fake ID and left it behind when they escaped. We immediately identified, located, and put under police custody the owner of the ID that was left there at the guard house, only to find out that his ID had been missing for a long time which is two years ago),” Col. Avenido said.

They are also gathering CCTV footage in the area to help track down the plate number of the getaway vehicle of the suspects.
