Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benhur Abalos said the Philippine National Police (PNP) will increase security and protection of Datu Montawal Mayor Ohto Montawal after he was shot in an apparent coordinated killing in Pasay City on February 22, just days after the killing of another government official.

Mayor Montawal was immediately brought to the hospital and is now in stable condition. The DILG Secretary expressed his hopes for the quick recovery of the mayor and that he would be able to provide his statement regarding the incident.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) Station Special Investigation Team or SSIT "Montawal" is currently focused on investigating the incident, tracking down the suspects responsible for the attack, and determining the possible motive behind it. Several witnesses have come forward to provide their accounts of what they saw during the shooting.

The DILG Secretary assures the public that the PNP is taking all necessary measures to apprehend the suspects and resolve the case. Updates will be provided as the investigation continues.
