A policeman was killed while a suspected robber was wounded during a shootout in Quezon province, police said on Thursday.
LUCENA CITY, Quezon — Using a soil conditioner has been proven to yield better results in rice fields as shown in a demonstration area in Barangay Ilayang Dupay, here, the City Agriculturist’s Office (CAO) revealed yesterday. The Rapid Agricultural Mode of Improving Languid (RAMIL) and the CAO said better results were seen after applying fulvic acid, a soil conditioner, as introduced by Councilor Ramil Talaga to local farmers. Rice field owner Nestor Abadilla testified that the use of the soil conditioner allowed him to decrease spraying insecticides in his farm from as frequent as seven times down to only twice in a harvest season.
 
The slain policeman was identified as Police Officer 3 Francisco Villania of the Atimonan town police station. He was killed during a firefight with a group of robbers.
 
One of the armed robbers, Arturo Jurado, was injured during the shootout. He was rushed to the Quezon Medical Hospital in Lucena City for treatment.
 
Police said that Villania and Police Officer 2 Benito Reyes responded to an ongoing robbery at the Mr. D Convenience Store along 898 Orda Street, Barangay Zone 2, in Atimonan town, Wednesday at 2:50 p.m.
 
The two cops gave chase and engaged the robbers in a gunfight.
 
Authorities managed to arrest two more suspects identified as Miguel Mollas Targa of Sitio Pilaway, Brgy Polo, Mauban, Quezon and Elmer Encina of Barangay Sta. Maria, Calauag, Quezon.
 
Two other suspects were able to escape after commandeering a jeepney and sped toward Plaridel, Quezon.
 
Police recovered from the suspects several high powered firearms, including an UZI sub-machine gun, mobile phones, P1,300 and a tricycle used as a getaway vehicle.
