To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…
Five Chinese nationals and a Filipino who were allegedly involved in a shooting incident of two Chinese men in Parañaque City were arrested early morning of June 15.
The Southern Police District (SPD) said that based on the report submitted by Parañaque City police chief, Col.

Based on the investigation by the Parañaque City police, the incident happened at around 12:10 a.m. inside a residential building located along Roxas Boulevard, Parañaque City.
The police said residential building tenants immediately reported the incident to Parañaque police Tambo substation after hearing a burst of gunfire inside the victims’ unit.
It was learned that based on the CCTV footage gathered by the police, the four men entered the unit of the victims and shot them allegedly due to an unpaid loan.
