Masantol Police also coordinated with other police stations in the area to help track down the suspects and determine the motive behind the attack.

In the Philippines, a killing incident is handled first by police responders who secure the scene and check the condition of the victims.

Officers collect evidence, take photos, review CCTV, and talk to witnesses to understand how the incident happened.

Investigators study leads, possible motives, and the identity of the suspects.

Once enough evidence is gathered, police identify and arrest the suspect and file a complaint with the prosecutor.

A prosecutor reviews the case to see if there is sufficient basis to file charges in court.

If the evidence is strong, the case is brought before a judge.

A full trial follows, where both sides present proof and witnesses. After hearing everything, the court decides if the accused is guilty.

If guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, punishment is given based on the Revised Penal Code.

Penalties may include long-term imprisonment, reclusion perpetua, fines, and civil damages owed to the victim’s family.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
