Jason Ivler wounded during QC arrest
Suspect 'went on rampage' during arrest
MANILA, Philippines (2nd Update) – Jason Aguilar Ivler, the suspect in the killing of a Palace official’s son last November, was arrested by elements of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Monday morning.
NBI Director Nestor Mantaring said Ivler exchanged gunfire with NBI agents who entered the Ivler home at Blue Ridge A Subdivision in Quezon City early Monday.
"Ivler had a baby armalite and a bandolier. He just started shooting but he was also shot. Before he was shot, at least two operatives were hit," Mantaring said in a radio dzMM interview.
Mantaring identified the casualties as Anna Lira Labao of the NBI Intelligence Service Division and Atty. Julito Magno, head of the NBI Special Action Unit. Both are out of danger, he added.
Ivler was rushed to the Quirino Memorial Medical Center after sustaining gunshot wounds to the right shoulder and left upper abdomen.
Dr. Fernando Lopez, chief of the hospital's surgery department, said Ivler's vital signs have already stabilized although he would have to undergo surgery to remove his spleen.
"The patient has been stabilized and his vital signs are OK at the moment. He's currently under general anesthesia. The bullet went through his abdomen and pierced his large intestine," he said in a separate radio dzMM interview.
Ivler has been the subject of a police manhunt after allegedly shooting dead Renato Ebarle, Jr., the son of assistant secretary Renato Ebarle, Sr., during a traffic altercation along Boni Serrano Avenue in Quezon City on November 18, 2009. Ebarle died of 3 gunshot wounds in the body.
A Palace official, meanwhile, praised the NBI for arresting the suspect who had been in hiding for two months.
"The arrest of Ivler is a big personal relief to the Ebarle family and friends. The NBI and all those who helped in his arrest deserve high commendation. The arrest of Ivler should also hopefully help address the issue of road rage," Press Secretary Cerge Remonde said in a statement.
Secret room
The NBI agents raided Ivler’s house at No. 23 Hillside Drive in Blue Ridge A Subdivision at around 6 a.m.
A report by ABS-CBN Correspondent Maan Macapagal said Ivler’s mother, Marlene, allegedly tried to hide her son from authorities.
“Sabi ng mother ni Jason wala siya doon pero nagpursigi pa rin ang NBI,” Macapagal reported.
“His house was like a maze,” she continued, noting that the NBI had a hard time finding the murder suspect.
Mantaring said Ivler was hiding in a storeroom when he started shooting at the NBI agents. He added that Ivler's mother was in a separate room when the shooting started.
Several media members were even caught in the crossfire. “We don’t know where to go... Papasok sa closet, nagsisisikan,” Macapagal said of the ordeal of the members of the press.
Mom, house staff could face charges
The NBI director said Ivler's mother could face charges for harboring Ivler despite a warrant of arrest for the suspect.
"We have information that Jason never left the house. They have already raided the house twice before but never found him," he said.
He said Ivler probably tried to fight arrest since he knew that murder is a nonbailable crime.
Assistant Secretary Ebarle noted that Ivler's mother even told police that she received an e-mail from her son, saying that he was already in the United States.
Ebarle said charges should be filed against the house staff of Ivler home as well as Ivler's stepfather, Asian Development Bank (ADB) official Stephen Pollard, for harboring a known criminal.
The Palace official thanked law enforcers for not letting up on the case and for finally arresting Ivler. "It's good that he was finally arrested because he could hurt a lot more people," he said.
"Today is the 60th day since my son was killed. He was killed on November 18. This is my only son. It's been very hard for us but this morning, our prayers were answered," he added.
False alarm
An overseas Filipino worker (OFW) was earlier mistaken to have been Ivler, after having the same first and middle names of the suspect.
Jason Vivar Aguilar, 26, of Pandukot in Calumpit, Bulacan arrived in the Philippines on January 7 from Qatar after Doha police thought he was Jason Aguilar Ivler, a wanted suspect in Manila. Aguilarworked as a welder for one month in Qatar.
Ivler’s name was already on the Interpol Red Notice List since his warrant of arrest was released in the Philippines on December 23, 2009. Malacañang also offered a P1-million reward for any information that would lead to Ivler’s arrest.
Ivler, an American citizen, faced a criminal case in 2004 which accused him of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide.
He was involved in a deadly car accident that killed presidential adviser Nestor Ponce, Jr. in August 2004. – With reports from ANC and Maan Macapagal, ABS-CBN News

Not that good as It seems
to Prioritize:
did you hear what your saying? Is that what you call JUSTICE? alam mo ba kung bakit may human rights? para equal ang bawat tao and that is JUSTICE walang mayaman, walang mahirap lahat pantay-pantay. This is just a manifestation na human rights is never been given any importance. Kahit na gaano kalaki ang kasalanan ng suspect it should not come to any point na tanggalan natin siya ng karapatang pangtao! oo nga may dumating na rescuers to accommodate him pero ilang oras pa nga pala bago sila dumating? I would admit he has to pay for the crime he had committed, pero sapat ba yon para mawalan siya ng kakayahang depensahan ang sarili niya and be treated right? I think naman every citizen has the capacity to defend himself (never the less napatunayang nagkasala nga talaga siya)? siya lang ba ang taong may mas matinding kaso na nagawa para ganyanin? how about the case of AMPATUAN, sino ba ang naging masgrabe ang treatment sa kanilang dalawa? he had been shot pero mashigit na marami ang NBI and he is too weak to fight para mapatamaan pa sa vital organ, isa laban sa marami ang scene na yung kung tutuusin. c'mon wake up sino bang may mali talaga Ivler or the JUSTICE FLOW running right now?
harsh
You know what justice means?? it means the administering of deserved punishment or reward. So kung may ginawa kang mali you deserve something better. Kung si Ivler hindi na lumaban edi sana walang putukan na nangyari. The cops need to defend their selves also. Naghahanap cla ng Justice pero kitang kita naman na lumaban at pumatay ung suspect. So you know better to face the problem nalang. Lagi nating sinisisi ang mga pulis at kung sino man ang nagbibigay ng Justice. Ikaw ang gumising! Lahat tayo my karampatang parusa kung nakagawa tayo ng mali. Makakaligtas man tayo sa mata at kamay ng tao pero sa mata at parusa ng Diyos hindi...
Good Job NBI
Good job NBI! Tama lang ang ginawa ng NBI. Gusto ba natin na may gumalagala sa roads na mamamaril tapos magtatago lang

Malacañang official accused of attempted homicide
By Jeannette Andrade
Inquirer

Filed Under: Road Transport, Local authorities
MANILA, Philippines – A complaint for attempted homicide was filed yesterday against an undersecretary of the office of the presidential chief of staff.
Warrick Evidente of Barangay Mariana, New Manila, Quezon City filed the complaint at the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) Cubao police station 7 after Renato Ebarle allegedly tried to run him over with his sports utility vehicle. Evidente, a 40-year-old sales executive, said the incident stemmed from a traffic problem.
The Greenhills, San Juan police detachment reported that the incident started at around 9:35 a.m. along 1st Street in Barangay Mariana.
Evidente and his 5-year-old son were about to leave their townhouse aboard a maroon Toyota Corolla (WCU-158) to buy bread when Ebarle’s charcoal gray Toyota Land Cruiser with a 12* license plate in front and RET-565 in the back, suddenly appeared, the report said. Ebarle stepped on the brakes to prevent a collision.
Evidente told the Inquirer that Ebarle started hurling invectives at him and threatened to kill him, adding that he worked in Malacañang.
Evidente said he got his son out of the car and asked a security guard to take him home. As he was about to board his car again, Ebarle stepped on the accelerator, sideswiping his left leg, he said.
Despite an injured leg, Evidente chased Ebarle until they reached the corner of Santolan Road and Ortigas Avenue in San Juan. During the chase, the Land Cruiser allegedly tried to get Evidente’s car off the road.
SPO1 Gerardo Matias, who was aboard San Juan mobile unit 431, noticed the incident and told them to stop. Evidente told him his version of the story. When Matias asked Ebarle to get off his vehicle, the latter reportedly introduced himself as a Malacañang official and said he wanted the case to be brought to PNP chief Director General Avelino Razon in Camp Crame. He handed Matias a business card.
When Matias threatened to charge him with willful disobedience of a person in authority, Ebarle agreed to go to the San Juan Police detachment in Greenhills. Once there, Ebarle reportedly excused himself when his lawyer Ben Dangaso arrived, allegedly promising that the latter would take care of the matter since he had to go to Malacañang.
Matias told the Inquirer he asked the lawyer to wait while he brought the victim to the San Juan Medical Center for examination. When they returned, Dangaso was also gone.
In a telephone interview, Dangaso told the Inquirer he left the station because he knew the incident was outside the jurisdiction of San Juan authorities.
He said his client would file counter-charges against Evidente and the San Juan police for allegedly filing a false report.

Excellent Job NBI!
NBI does it again! Hanga talaga ako sa inyo, magaling at very smart. To pedroboy, you just gave the dumbest and most insensitive comments here in this article. If you are not a moron, why would you wish that the rest Mr. Ebarle's family be murdered? Is it because the father works in Malacanang? Do you think that the people who work there are evil and deserves to die? Fuck you shithead!
embarrassment to the entire country
A bail of just 12,000 pesos is a embarrassment to the entire country. 2 NBI officials were shot because of what this woman did !! Not to mention all the taxpayers money that went into the search for this loser Ivler ! Check her out on Youtube several weeks ago lying with her crocodile tears for her son to give himself up. Then telling the authorities she had received an email from him saying he had left the Philippines and now was in Hawaii. All the while this idiot Ivler was hidden inside of her house !! Does anyone know the name of this Judge who gave the 12,000 peso bail ? Every Filipino world wide should be outraged at this injustice !! Call for the immediate dismissal for the Government officials responsible for allowing this criminal Marlene Aguilar to be free !!
Great job..!!!
I give NBI agents credit for capturing Jason Ivler. But I think from watching the news footage on that fire fight w/ Jason. NBI needs more tactical training. OK.. I'm not an expert. But Jason was in a confined room, NBI agents could had thrown a flash grenade or stun grenade to disorient Ivler. But if might not even work for him, since it looks like he won't get up alive. He is one lucky bastard that NBI agents did not unleash all there ammo on that room and to him. For sure he would be like a swiss cheese now.
To his mom. Wow your one STUPID mother. I do understand a "Mother's love", but come on how can you sleep at night knowing your son had killed someone. That's totally wrong. Just think of the other family who had lost there son because of a stupid son you have. Because Ebarle Jr. would not let you cut in traffic now it's OK for you to shot and kill him. Wow.. your a disgrace to all US Army or USMC. I bet you were dishonorable discharged from service. What a disgrace.. :(
