MANILA, Philippines – A Chinese national who worked as an interpreter for a mining firm in Zambales was shot dead at a coffee shop along Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City shortly before midnight Wednesday, police said yesterday.
Chief Inspector Raymund Ligudin said victim Pao Chen Chiang, 54, was meeting with fellow Chinese nationals when suspect Condrado Valenzuela, who was sitting at a nearby table, drew a pistol and shot him twice in the head.
Ligudin said Valenzuela was killed in a shootout with security guard Ian Colite.
