Two unidentified gunmen with unknown motives shot dead a policeman in Daraga, Albay.
Albay police were investigating the motives for the killing that might lead to identifying the suspects.
The cop was shot in Barangay Peñafrancia, Daraga, Albay around 11 other night.
The victim, PSSg Allan Madelar, was an active member of the PNP stationed at the Guinobatan Municipal Police Station.
