PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur – A brazen daylight attack in Dumalinao town, Zamboanga del Sur on Wednesday, July 1, claimed the life of a police corporal, but swift law enforcement operations led to the surrender of one suspect, also a police officer, and the arrest of his alleged cohort less than 24 hours later.

Atty. Pablito Abad Jr., National Police Commission Regional Office-9 (Napolcom-9) director, vowed stronger oversight and accountability measures with the involvement of a fellow policeman in the ambush on Police Corporal Armaejo Unab Jornadal, 36.
