The fatality was identified as Patrolman John Karl Delyola, a 27-year-old member of the 401st Maneuver Company, Regional Mobile Force Batallion-4A, and a resident of Calamba City, Laguna.
Delyola’s companion, Patrolman Adrianne Atienza, 29, of Balagtasin, San Jose, Batangas, is in serious condition at the hospital.

Fellow officers rushed the victim-cops to the Silang Specialist Medical Center, where Delyola was declared dead on arrival.
The young driver was arrested and according to a police report, he tested positive for alcohol.
