According to Fajardo, the case stems from an incident on May 18, this year when security guard Renz Antero reported a disturbance in Ayala Alabang Village in Muntinlupa City, caused by a fistfight.
Upon arrest, it was found that the individuals involved were SAF members moonlighting as security for a Chinese national identified as A.H. Long, and his two children, 鈥渨ithout proper authorization.鈥�
IAS investigation found that Bagsao and Turano had deployed Mabuti and Valdez as security for A.H. Long and his family 鈥渋n violation of PNP regulations.鈥�
