Death came at breakfast for the head of an urban poor association in Malabon City on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
Police said Ernesto Gulfo, who also owned a junk shop, was shot at point-blank range by a man who pretended to be inquiring about his rates.<\/p>\n
Case investigator Senior Police Officer 1 Edsel dela Paz said Gulfo, 52, was eating breakfast in his house in Sitio 6, Barangay Catmon, when a man with a backpack arrived at 7:10 a.m. and asked how much he paid for brass scraps.<\/p>\n
But before Gulfo could answer, the supposed customer drew a caliber .45 pistol from his bag and shot the victim three times in the chest.<\/p>\n
The man, who wore a jacket and blue cap, casually walked away from the scene and was joined by another man who apparently served as a lookout, Dela Paz said, quoting eyewitness accounts.<\/p>\n
Gulfo was pronounced dead on arrival at Manila Central University Hospital in Caloocan City.<\/p>\n
The slain junk shop owner was also the president of Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Samahan sa Malabon, Dela Paz said.
