Press Release: Police safely rescued a 22-year old person with disability (PWD) who was held hostage by a bolo-wielding amok in Palawan on Sunday afternoon.
The amok, Bernard Cortez Adial, 48, of Tagbarokbok, Barangay Isugod, Quezon, Palawan, was shot by responding police operatives during the rescue. He died from a single gunshot wound in the neck.

Upon the arrival of the police team at the scene, Adial reportedly ran towards the neighbor’s house where he took hostage PWD Shiela Mae Nadoy Saban, 22, while holding responding policemen at bay with a 24-inch bolo with which he threatened to hack the victim despite orders for him to surrender.
Adial was about the strike the victim with the bolo prompting a member of the police team to use his firearm hitting the suspect once in the neck.
The suspect was rushed to the Quezon Medicare Hospital but was declared dead on arrival by Dr. Michael Ventura.
Investigators learned that Adial has not eaten and slept for two days before the incident.
