MANILA – The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) on Thursday strongly condemned the shooting of Puerto Princesa International Airport’s acting manager Joanna Jonson-Infante.
“CAAP expresses grave concern over this senseless act of violence and calls on the appropriate authorities to conduct a thorough and expeditious investigation to ensure that those responsible are held accountable under the law,” it said in a news release.
CAAP added it is closely coordinating with local law enforcement agencies and is ready to extend full cooperation in support of the ongoing investigation.
“We trust that law enforcement authorities will pursue this case with urgency and ensure that justice is served,” CAAP Director General Raul Del Rosario was quoted as saying.
According to a Palawan News report, the incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon along Bayview Road in Barangay San Pedro, Puerto Princesa City.
A man shot Infante in the back and then fled.
Infante was brought to a hospital but later succumbed to gunshot wounds. (PNA)
