Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla on Friday ordered the six-month preventive suspension of Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca as investigators from the people’s watchdog examine Wednesday night’s shooting inside the Senate. Remulla said the suspension was necessary to prevent possible interference in the probe. Aplasca, the Senate’s chief security officer and custodian of its CCTV footage, reportedly fired the first warning shot that triggered the incident. The Ombudsman’s investigation will focus on the chain of events, handling of security protocols, and preservation of evidence tied to the shooting. Remulla, a former justice secretary, stressed that accountability and an impartial inquiry are essential while authorities determine responsibility
