Allan, the suspects' primary target, was a drug user but recently surrendered to local police when they implemented Oplan Tokhang several months ago.

With two persons dead and one wounded, the officials of Barangay San Antonio have condemned the killings. They continue to stand by their residents and hope for the best.

Meanwhile, Kristine Joy's mother and father cry in pain. They said their daughter had huge dreams, including buying a beautiful home for them one day. She was sweet and thoughtful, her parents said.
