00:13Witness, Jun Veneracion.
00:15You were with us this morning. Now, tell us what your request is.
00:22This man was pointing a gun at the owner of a store in SMC Pilipas, Batangas.
00:28Are you his relative?
00:29Yes, I am his relative. He was with me this morning.
00:33After almost 3 hours of negotiation, the police convinced the hostage taker to go to the mall with his family.
00:41He agreed to come down from the 2nd floor so the police were able to catch the suspect.
00:59He's caught. He's caught.
01:01When I grabbed him by the hand, he was still trying to get the knife.
01:07So we were fighting for the knife.
01:10That's why I got hurt.
01:12When the knife was thrown, they didn't see it.
01:17I felt like I was going to get hurt.
01:21The Lipa City Police is wondering how the suspect was able to enter the mall despite the tight security.
01:28This is one of the questions that the security officers of the mall should answer.
01:32In the statement issued by SM, their security personnel are helping the PNP to control the situation yesterday.
01:39A joint investigation will be conducted so that the same incident will not happen again.
01:44The officers of the Lipa City Police also went to the mall and insisted that they will conduct an internal investigation.
01:51That's what they said. They will answer the questions about the security.
01:58They said that they will take care of their security.
02:02The hostage was saved, who is still emotional about the incident.
02:06He refused to be interviewed, but he showed us the wounds on his neck and hands.
