'There are derogatory reports about him on illegal drugs but we're still validating it,' says the investigator

BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – A policeman here was shot to death in broad daylight on Saturday, January 26.

Killed was Senior Police Officer 4 Oscar Exaltado of Bacolod Police Station 6.

The victim was on his way to work when he was waylaid by two unidentified assailants near an elementary school in Barangay Singcang-Airport around 8 a.m.

Senior Superintendent Henry Biñas, officer-in-charge of Bacolod City Police Office, said they were still investigating the case.
