MANILA, Philippines — Senators on Wednesday cited in contempt a police officer who was tagged as the gunman during a shooting incident in Dumaguete City in 2021 due to inconsistencies in his testimony. The officer, Police Staff Sgt. Noel Alabata, was identified by the business owners Jason Ong and Sandy Tinguha as the one who shot them in Dumaguete City in 2021, during the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs hearing regarding the killing of Gov. Roel Degamo. Dumaguete Police chief Police Colonel Ramoncelio Sawan also identified Alabata as the arrested suspect in the incident.
