00:37 We were in a meeting.
00:41 We were in a meeting in a car.
00:49 We were going down.
00:51 We talked for a while.
00:53 He got angry.
00:55 He was already armed. That's all.
00:58 Malabute was identified in the plate number of the car that was captured in the video.
01:03 Because of the trauma to the incident, Henry stopped the vehicle.
01:07 I hope he will just give up.
01:11 According to PNP, Malabute is a businessman from Tondo, Manila.
01:16 According to LTO records, Malabute is the third owner of the vehicle.
01:21 According to the Valenzuela PNP, the case is a grave threat and alarm and scandal against the suspect.
01:28 The PNP Firearms and Explosive Office has now returned Malabute's license to own and possess firearms to his 9mm gun.
01:36 Hence, Malabute is now being ordered to surrender his firearm to the nearest police station.

02:10 Checkpoints were added in Valenzuela after the incident, particularly in the roads that cross the Valenzuela and other provinces.
02:19 Lesson learned, number one is police visibility.
02:22 I can say that our police visibility in that area was not lacking because I am often in that area.
02:31 But I already tasked Colonel Destura to increase our police visibility knowing that there are people living in our area that are strong-willed like him.
02:46 My fellow countrymen are even threatening.
02:50 Second, additional CCTV.
02:53 The driver was also offered assistance like the one given by the lawyer.
02:57 You know, you cannot avoid it. Sometimes, there is traffic, you get hot-headed, sometimes you are drunk in the middle of the day, you go home.
03:06 Whatever reason it may be, this is an example.
03:10 Especially if you give up and you are charged, our motorists will be responsible, especially those who pass through Valenzuela.
