As a consequence, the suspect was apprehended and is currently detained at La Trinidad Municipal Jail in Poblacion, La Trinidad, Benguet.
 
The driver now faces charges of Reckless Imprudence Resulting in Physical Injuries and Violation of R.A. 10586, also known as the Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act of 2013.
 
The visit of PBGEN Peredo emphasized the commitment of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to support its officers and their families during challenging times.
 
The financial assistance provided by the regional director aims to alleviate some of the burdens faced by PMSg Ganon’s family as they cope with the medical expenses and other related challenges.
