This happened only last week. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA)’s Larry Fiala apprehended a motorist somewhere in the Edsa, Cubao area, for a traffic violation. Refusing sanction, the motorist hit the traffic enforcer in the face, and then swiftly drove away. The motorcycle-riding Fiala pursued him all the way to Edsa, Connecticut, and engaged him in a hot discussion. The motorist took out a gun, opened fire and landed five bullets in Fiala’s stomach, then left.
The motorist has been identified as Edward Gonzalez, 30, of Makati. He’s been arrested, legally tagged as a “suspect,” and now jailed at the Mandaluyong City Police Headquarters. Fiala remains critical, at the Victor R. Potenciano Memorial Center.
MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino is quoted by the tri-media promising to underwrite the costs of the victim’s medical care and related needs, and see that the suspect is hauled to court and punished for what he has done. “We’re hoping that Mr. Fiala’s condition improves,” said Tolentino. “He was performing his duty unarmed. All he had were his traffic citation tickets and his determination to enforce our traffic laws. It is appalling that a heartless individual would just shoot him for no clear reason.”.... MORE
