Camp Olivas, Pampanga — An undercover intelligence agent of the Zambales Police Provincial
Office was gunned down by a still unidentified suspect Wednesday night in Barangay Inhobol, Masinloc, Zambales.

Superintendent Baltazar Mamaril, chief of the Public Information Office (PIO) of the Zambales Police, identified the victim as Police Officer 3 Valiant Almario, 48, of South Masinloc.

Almario was about to leave the house of his friend at about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday when the gunman emerged from nowhere and shot him. Police said the gunman is a suspected member of the Rebolusyonaryong Hukbong Bayan (RHB), a breakaway group of the New People’s Army (NPA). Police said Almario was reportedly confirming the presence of unidentified armed men in the village, believed to be RHB members, when he was shot. (Mark Anthony N. Manuel)
