Threatens to shoot young customers & store attendant
Pilipino Star Ngayon revealed that Madlang-awa had pointed his gun at a 20-year-old student who came to the store to buy cigarettes.
After the student ran away out of fear, the policeman did the same to two more students who subsequently arrived.
He also assaulted one of them — a young lady — with his gun, ABS-CBN News reported.
To protect the pair, the store owner took the students inside, which further angered Madlang-awa.
He threatened a young store attendant that he would kill him if he didn’t give up the students, then fired his gun away from the store.

Madlang-awa was surrendered to the police by his sibling, who is also a police officer.
He now faces multiple criminal charges, including grave threats, unjust vexation, physical injury, and illegal discharge of firearms.
He will also face administrative cases and is set to be removed from service.

“I want everyone to know that no one is above the law, no matter their rank or position,” Calabarzon Regional Director Police Brigadier General Jack Wanky said, as reported by GMA News.
According to Pilipino Star Ngayon, Madlang-awa was the top student of his graduating class in 2021.
