MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Slain Tanauan City, Batangas mayor Antonio Halili’s own men were in charge of his close-in security and not policemen when he was shot last week, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said Monday.<\/p>\n

Speaking to newsmen in Camp Crame, Police Regional Office Calabarzon acting director Chief Supt. Edward Carranza said an armed Mayor’s Anti-Crime Group (MACG) had been formed by Halili’s office.<\/p>\n

The MACG took over the duties of guarding the mayor shortly after the National Police Commission (Napolcom) decided to withdraw Halili’s supervisory powers over the police.<\/p>\n

These personnel, Carranza said, were armed with registered pistols bought by city hall.<\/p>\n

Video footage of the incident at the Tanauan City Hall grounds last week show that subsequent shots were fired after Halili slumped on the ground from a sniper’s shot to the chest during the flag raising ceremonies.<\/p>\n

Carranza added that they recovered spent bullet casings for .45 and .38 caliber pistols from the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
