Armed men barge into LTFRB chief’s house
MANILA, Philippines — Armed men barged into the house of Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Chairman Teofilo Guadiz III in Dagupan City, Pangasinan on Wednesday.
Police said the unidentified men, who arrived in a white van and a black sport utility vehicle, managed to enter after offering a bag of groceries to the person manning the gate.
Once the gate was opened, the suspects searched for Guadiz in every room.
The incident was witnessed by Guadiz’s mother and their housemaid.
The gunmen took two cell phones and P1,000 in cash and fled toward Calasiao town.
An investigation is ongoing.
The incident occurred a day before the Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operator Nationwide held a two-day transport strike in protest against the government’s public utility vehicle modernization program.
