Police investigators said that four suspects in the December 28 Mandaluyong shooting incident, including watchmen Wilmer Doron and Ernesto Fajardo, had tested positive for gunpowder residue,  GMA 7 news program "24 Oras Weekend" reported on Sunday.

Furthermore, Jonalyn Ambaan, who was shot to death when Mandaluyong police officers and watchmen mistakenly opened fire on the vehicle that was taking her to hospital, had also tested positive.

Ambaan was being taken to hospital because of a gunshot wound she received when she intervened in an argument.

"Dalawa doon sa side ni Alfie na nag-positive din, at dalawa doon sa side nila Jonalyn nag-positive din. Even si Jonalyn na nasawi, lumalabas na nag-positive din sa paraffin test," said National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) chief Director Oscar Albayalde.

Doron had earlier denied having a gun, and thus he could not have shot at the vehicle taking Ambaan to hospital.

Meanwhile, Ambaan's relatives were told that Jonalyn had died from multiple gunshot wounds.

"Dito daw sa... daplis lang 'yung dito eh. Mababaw lang 'yung dito sabi ng ano eh. Tapos dito yata tapos dito sa may pagitan ng puso... tapos 'yung tiyan niya may makikita ka na ano eh butas-butas eh," said Marnie Canuto, Jonalyn's sister.

A grieving Cunuto added that she had made New Year plans with Jonalyn. "Sabi kasi... pauwi ako. Sabi niya sa akin na siya magbantay ng tindahan ko para makauwi ako tsaka para mabantayan mga anak ko eh," Marnie recounted. — Anna Felicia Bajo/DVM, GMA News

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
