Makati City Mayor [[Jejomar Erwin Binay, Jr.|Jejomar Erwin S. Binay Jr.]], today expressed sadness and shock over the fatal shooting of an employee of the Makati Social Welfare Department in barangay [[Valenzuela, Makati, Philippines|Valenzuela]] early Wednesday morning. | |||
Binay instructed city police chief, P/Superintendent Jaime Santos, to explore all angles in its investigation to identify and arrest the perpetrators. | |||
Calling the fatal incident unfortunate and senseless, Binay said he considers Mila Dumaguit, officer-in-charge of the MSWD’s Logistics and Finance Management Services, as family, having known her since he was a young boy. | |||
“I am saddened and shocked by the untimely death of Mila. I sincerely convey my prayers and condolences to her bereaved family. She does not deserve to leave us this way,” Binay said. | |||
City Administrator and concurrent Makati Social Welfare Department chief Marjorie de Veyra, the victim’s immediate head, could not contain her grief, saying she lost a very dependable co-worker. | |||
“I still cannot accept Mila’s sudden death. All the years that I have known her, she has proven to be very efficient and dependable. She truly cares for the people of Makati. I know I speak for all her co-workers at City Hall when I say I truly hope that she will be given justice," de Veyra said. | |||
Dumaguit has just boarded an L300 van to report to city hall at about 6:45 A.M., when two men on board a motorcycle approached the vehicle and started shooting at her and her driver. Her driver is still in the hospital. | |||
The shooting took place just outside the victim’s residence on Tanay Street, corner Osmena Highway in barangay [[Valenzuela, Makati, Philippines|Valenzuela]]. | |||
The police was able to secure a CCTV footage of the shooting incident from a neighbor. | |||
