WO alleged extortionists were killed in a shootout with intelligence Division officers of the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) along Diversion Road, barangay Panacan yesterday.

One of the suspects was an army reservist, Private First Class Gerandy Cabardo of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) who carried a licensed firearm, while the other was identified as Tanny Tan Jr., an employee of the Philippine Japan Active Carbon (PJAC) in Malagamot, Panacan. According to reports from the DCPO, a certain businessman of barangay Ilang called up the authorities regarding an extortion letter delivered by the suspects reportedly from kumander Parago of the New People’s Army (NPA) asking for P500,000. The Intelligence Division officers planned an entrapment operation, but the suspects sensed a setup after grabbing the money, which resulted to a shootout. DCPO chief, Senior Supt. Ronald dela Rosa said the suspects were identified by victims of holdups in LBC Lanang. “We will show their pictures to other victims in the city, especially business owners to identify them,” he said. ”We will conduct a background check on both the suspects.”
