MANILA, Philippines — All the evidence gathered from the initial investigation of the Philippine National Police on the May 13 shooting incident inside the Senate building showed that no “attack” took place, contrary to the description used empathically by Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.

Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said President Marcos was already informed of the PNP’s findings. Records of the probe were also turned over to a joint panel of prosecutors formed by the Department of Justice and the Office of the Ombudsman.

The panel will conduct a further inquiry and eventually recommend the filing of appropriate cases.

“For the record, all evidence points [to the conclusion, for now,] that there was no attack on the Senate,” Remulla said in a Palace briefing on Tuesday.
