Citing information cops gathered from Laguna, PNP chief for police-community relations Major General Benigno Durana said Director for Intelligence Major General Mariel Magaway and Director for Comptrollership Major General Jovic Ramos are in “critical condition.”

“As soon as their condition stablilizes, they will be moved to the nearest hospital,” Durana said, adding that they are being “well taken care of” at the Unihealth Medical Center in Biñan, Laguna.
