That didn’t end there, our hero knows what he is doing so he didn’t backed down a bit and instead position himself where he can see everyone and warn them to calm down and do not stand up.

And along with the arrival of his colleague policemen two suspected cohorts namely Mark Lee Mahinay, a security guard and James Medrano, a construction worker was arrested although they deny immediately any involvements on the incident.
Meanwhile a witness who claimed to be a passenger of the said bus named Mark Aries Santos Sangalang uploaded a thrilling video of how our Hero cop SPO2 Joselito Lantano controls the passengers after fatally wounding the armed robber.

According to Quezon City Police District director Chief Supt. Guillermo Eleazar who also arrived at the crime scene he was impressed by the quick thinking of our Hero police. That is why he will surely be in line for promotion.
“This shows how alert our police are and should be. Even if he was off-duty and going home, he was ready to face danger,” Eleazar said.
Lantano, a policeman for 20 years, has worked under the Police Security and Protection Group (PSPG) based in Crame since 2009.
Before that, he trained and was assigned with the PNP Special Action Force.
Lantano was recognized by the PSPG in 2013 for arresting suspects of an “akyat bahay” robbery group he caught in the act and chased in Batasan Hills, Quezon City.
For Lantano, his only thoughts were on making sure he survived the encounter for the sake of his 2 children living with him in Bulacan. Both are still in high school.
“I’m just glad that I did my job,” he said.
