Calabarzon police director, Chief Superintendent James Melad, ordered the Batangas police to create a team to investigate the killing of Jayson Catapang, 27, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds in the body.

Catapang, a former seaman, was in the driver’s seat of his Ford Everest parked at a gasoline station along Gov. Carpio Road when gunned down by two armed men on a motorcycle. His female companion survived the ambush.

Catapang was the third businessman killed in an ambush in Batangas since last month. All the killings remain unsolved.
