THE house of Land and Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) chair Teofilo Guadiz III in Dagupan City has been victimized by over 10 armed individuals forcibly entered the premises.
In a statement, Guadiz said his family was still reeling from the “traumatic incident,” which happened on Dec. 13, Wednesday. He said the Guadizes, especially his 91-year-old mother, have been left “deeply unsettled.”
“While this incident has shaken our family, I remain committed to my responsibilities at the LTFRB, and I am confident that justice will be served. Updates on the investigation will be provided as they become available,” Guadiz said.
The LTFRB chief added, “It seems personal, and the motive remains unclear.” He said the “intrusion” appeared to be “more than a routine robbery.”
Guadiz reported that three cars and over 10 armed individuals were involved in the incident.
According to Glen Juego’s report on Super Radyo dzBB, however, the Dagupan police reported that the crime was carried out by two gunmen who arrived at the Guadiz home in Barangay Pogo Chico onboard two vehicles: a white van and a black sports utility vehicle (SUV).
The Dagupan police received a call about the incident at about noon Wednesday.
The 91-year-old woman and a house helper were inside the house when the perpetrators came, declaring that they would be giving groceries as gifts. When the gate was opened, they suddenly entered the premises.
