00:19In the jail of the downfall of the bravery of the two Chinese in Manila,
00:24suddenly, a gun was fired from a distance of Rojas Boulevard yesterday.
00:29They were not allowed to pass because anyone was being shot.
00:34They were tripping. Maybe they were drunk.
00:37The Pasay Police were patrolling, so the suspects were cornered.
00:42Aside from the 38-caliber gun, the suspects were also caught with a knife.
00:47The gun is also illegal because it is not licensed.
00:52Actually, sir, we verified their name in our warrant.
00:57So far, one of them has the same name, but he was arrested.
01:05So, most likely, he was caught by someone else.
01:09The suspects are facing charges of violation of RA-10591,
01:13a comprehensive law on firearms and ammunition.
01:16We tried to get the suspects' statements,
01:19but because of the language barrier, they did not show up.
01:23While we were waiting at the Pasay Police Station
01:26to interview the Chinese nationals,
01:29a family member was shot because they were tripping,
01:34and a man punched their family's father.
01:38The victim is 59 years old,
01:41and he cannot hear and cannot speak properly.
01:45Suddenly, someone punched him in the back of his head.
01:49He did not see it because he suddenly disappeared.
01:51The victim was buying food from a nearby suspect,
01:56but the victim did not give it to him.
01:59They also confessed to one thing.
02:02Sir, we want to ask you, do you use drugs?
02:06Sometimes, sir.
02:08How often do you use it?
02:11A lot.
02:13Where do you get the money to buy drugs?
02:15My mom.
02:17The suspect, Shainan Lilimos, confessed to buying drugs.
02:21With regards to safety,
02:24we should always be aware of our surroundings.
02:30If we see unruly people,
02:34we should immediately report to the police.
