Who was after him?
“William Velasco, 34, chief engineer of the government-run Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center (JRMMC) was riding home in a passenger jeepney when two men in a motorcycle caught up with the jeepney at the corner of 10th Avenue and Teodoro street and shot him,” reports Rey Galupo in The Philippine Star.
According to a witness, the assailants made sure Velasco was dead before fleeing in the direction of the Caloocan city Hall.
Gerardo Gutierrez, the jeepney driver, rushed Velasco to the Caloocan Medical Center. Unfortunately, Velasco was declared dead on arrival.
Velasco’s father, Wilfredo Velasco, revealed his son had been planning to resign from his work “because of tremendous pressure.” He said, “He has a pending application to the (United Kingdom) because he said he could no longer take the corruption in his work.”
The case is now under investigation.
