ISAFP agent killed at eatery

MANILA, Philippines - An agent of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP) was shot dead at an eatery in Barangay Kamuning, Quezon City before dawn Saturday.

Dominic Anthony Cabalza, 42, and a resident of Barangay Kamuning was killed on the spot, according to Police Officer 2 Joycelyn Marcelo.

Cabalza’s attackers remain unidentified but witnesses said they left the scene in a black car (UAS-982 or UAS-983) driven by a woman.

Marcelo said Cabalza was eating when one of the attackers approached the counter and placed an order just before shoving him.

Instead of apologizing, the man drew a handgun and pointed it at Cabalza, who grappled for possession of the gun. Another man then approached them and repeatedly shot Cabalza.

Police recovered the attackers’ .45 caliber handgun and .380 revolver from the crime scene. – Reinir Padua
