Daming mga riding in tandem hit teams ngayon... Must be a booming business. And the idiot PNP is helpless to stop it. Condolence to Pastor family...



MANILA, Philippines -- Motorcycle-riding killers shot dead young car racing champion Enzo Ferdinand Pastor and wounded his companion in an ambush in Quezon City Thursday night.

Pastor, 32, and Paolo Salazar were onboard a truck transporting a race car to Clark, Pampanga to prepare for the final leg of the Asian V8 Championship next month when they were ambushed at the corner of Congressional and Visayas Avenues.

Pastor died from shots to the head and neck while Salazar was hit just above the hip and is in stable condition at a hospital.

Salazar told police the motorcycle drove up to Pastor’s side and the pillion rider opened fire.

He said both riders wore full-face helmets.

Pastor was the first Filipino to receive the All Star Award at the Night of Champions hosted by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing last December after he became overall champion in the EURO-NASCAR.

Meanwhile, a man was killed when the car he was driving slammed into the back of a delivery van on the C5 Road near Market Market in Taguig City around 5 a.m. Friday.

The victim, who was driving a Nissan Sentra with license plate ZTX 925, died of head injuries at the Ospital ng Makati.

The van driver was also injured and being treated at the same hospital.
