The victim&#x27;s mother admitted that her son used marijuana and had been under drug rehabilitation for months. &quot;I am directing everyone to investigate, lalo na at bata yan. Kailangan i-solve natin yan. We are assuring the family that we will investigate the case,&quot; PNP chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa said in a press briefing. Dela Rosa however urged the public to look at the bigger picture of riding-in-tandem shootings.&quot;Kapag mayroon nangyari dito sa munisipyo, sabay-sabay, hindi napapansin, pero ngayon na 1 lang, napapansin agad. Isa lang yan, so bakit ka mag-maximize sa isang nangyari, bakit hindi mo i-maximize yung 99% sa kabuuan?&quot; Dela Rosa said.The PNP has vowed to focus on crimes by motorcycle-riding gunmen after President Rodrigo Duterte put cops in the backseat of his anti-narcotics crackdown. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/13/17/goodbye-tokhang-pnp-tututok-sa-riding-in-tandem">Goodbye, &#x27;tokhang&#x27;: PNP sets sight on &#x27;riding-in-tandem&#x27;</a></li></ul><div>-- Report from Bianca Dava, ABS-CBN News </div>
