PER CURIAM |
||||
| At around 6:30 p.m., Ybasco emerged from the office of his employer holding a plastic bag. Manansala contacted Del Rosario and told him that Ybasco was on his way out. He reminded Del Rosario to be on the lookout for anybody who might rush to the succor of Ybasco, while the appellant would take care of Ybasco. Momentarily, Manansala and the appellant confronted Ybasco and told him, "May warrant of arrest ka." They grabbed Ybasco, handcuffed him and dragged him to the car.[19] Manansala and the appellant had a scuffle with Ybasco when they grabbed the plastic bag from him.[20] Roberto Acosta, a roving security guard, saw the incident and pulled out his .38 caliber gun with Serial No. 172410. On board his motorbike, he sped towards the scene to investigate the incident. Del Rosario confronted Acosta and grappled with him for the possession of the gun.[21] As Del Rosario managed to wrest possession of the gun from Acosta, Manansala ordered Del Rosario to shoot. Del Rosario did as he was told, and shot Acosta in the mouth. They boarded the car, and sped towards EDSA.[22] Dela Rapa was shocked at the sudden turn of events.[23] So was Juanito Mendoza, who had just stepped out from the Rustan's Supermarket and saw the shooting incident.[24] | |||||
