Emerson while on board a Toyota Avanza with plate number NDC 4879 was shot dead by an unidentified riding-in-tandem while on his way to attend the traditional Monday flag raising ceremony at about 7:50AM.

The assailants onboard a blue MIO motorcycle with an unknown license plate suddenly stopped on the driver’s side of the car and shot the victim several times with an unknown firearm and fled towards direction of San Ildefonso town.
The victim was rushed to Ace Medical Center in Baliuag City for medical treatment but later pronounced dead by an attending physician.
