MANILA, Philippines—(UPDATE) A brother-in-law of the President’s daughter, Luli Arroyo-Bernas, caught three bullets in the abdomen and arm trying to resist four men who hijacked his van, with members of his family aboard, along C-5 Road in Pasig City before dawn Saturday, Police said.

Senior Superintendent Jessie Cardona, the Pasig police chief, said Jorge Bernas, 41, was in stable condition at the Medical City as of mid-afternoon Saturday.

Bernas is the brother of John Aloysius Bernas, the president’s son-in-law, Cardona said.

Police said he was shot twice in the stomach and once on the left arm as he resisted the robbers and shouted for help.

At about 5:15 a.m., Bernas, his wife Jo Analise, 42, their children Arianne, 12, and Antonio, 11, with their houseboy and driver, were traveling aboard a Hyundai Starex van (plate number ZLE-801), police said.

They had been fetched by their driver from the airport in Pasay City and were on their way home to Greenmeadows subdivision, Quezon City, when the carjacking occurred, Jo Analise told investigators at the hospital.

When they reached the corner of C-5 and Ortigas Avenue in Barangay Ugong, a white Toyota Hi-Ace van bumped the rear right portion of the Starex, prompting Bernas and their driver to alight from the car to inspect the damage, a report by case investigator PO3 Rolando Lipata said.

Four armed men then came out of the Hi-Ace and pointed guns at Bernas, but he resisted and shouted for help, prompting one of the robbers to shoot him repeatedly, the investigator said.

The robbers then left Bernas lying on the ground and commandeered the Starex van with Bernas’ wife and children and their houseboy still aboard, the police said.

They dropped off Bernas’ family members on Edsa at the corner of Estrella Street in Makati City, and drove off in the Starex followed by the Hi-Ace, Lipata said.

Efren Gereda, who was driving his jeepney, saw the badly wounded Bernas and rushed him to the hospital, the investigator said.
