‘I WAS JUST THERE, I AM APOLOGIZING’ After surrendering to the Manila Police District (MPD), the father and son suspects in the brutal killing of a 46-year-old man in Tondo on Monday morning, April 13, apologized to the victim’s family. The crime occurred inside a computer shop where the suspects repeatedly stabbed the victim.
Manila Police District (MPD)
The Manila Police District (MPD) is the primary law enforcement agency responsible for the City of Manila, Philippines. It was formally established in 1901 during the American colonial period, evolving from earlier Spanish-era policing systems. Today, the MPD operates under the Philippine National Police and is headquartered at the United Nations Avenue in Ermita.
Tondo
Tondo is a historic district in Manila, Philippines, known as one of the oldest and most densely populated areas in the city. It was a major independent settlement and center of trade before Spanish colonization in the 16th century, later becoming a hub of early Filipino resistance and labor movements. Today, it remains a vibrant but economically challenged urban community.
