In a recent update, Oriental Mindoro Governor Humerlito Dolor shared some significant developments regarding the tragic death of Mervin Guarte. The Calapan City Police have identified a tricycle driver as a person of interest in the case and are actively pursuing him.

CCTV footage from Barangay shows the individual walking down a narrow alleyway leading to the crime scene and leaving a few minutes later. This crucial evidence has prompted authorities to intensify their investigation.

Governor Dolor appealed to the public for restraint, reminding everyone to refrain from sharing photos related to the case. "Let’s allow the authorities to do their investigation," he urged, emphasizing the importance of supporting the investigative process without interference.

As the community grapples with this unsettling event, the Governor’s message is clear: trust in the police work and avoid speculation. The authorities are working diligently to bring justice for Mervin Guarte, and the Governor’s call for patience and calm is a reminder of the sensitive nature of the ongoing investigation.
