MANILA, Philippines — The police chief of Mandaluyong City and 10 officers involved in the fatal shooting incident were relieved from their posts Friday. Malacañang said the matter "will be investigated fully even if there appears to be excessive force utilized by police authorities." As of this post, Albayalde was holding a closed-door meeting at Mandaluyong police headquarters. This led to village watchmen and cops shooting the individuals inside the white van. Albayalde said the investigation into the incident will include why the watchmen, usually only armed with truncheons, had guns.
