Third Person Pov

As the police confronted the criminals, the tension in the air was palpable.

They had the senator and Alice held tightly by the neck. Fear was evident in their eyes, and it made the officers' stomachs churn.

"Pakawalan mo sila, Mr. Duterte!" one of the officers shouted, his voice steady but laced with urgency. "We can resolve this peacefully!"

The criminals sneered, tightening their grip.

"You think you can just walk in here and dictate terms? kupal niyo!" Mr. Duterte shouted while the police stood on edge, their hands hovering over their weapons, but they hesitated, feeling outmatched by the situation.

In a moment of desperation, they turned to Mr. Duterte, pleading for his intervention.

"Sir, listen to me," The police said, his voice calm but authoritative. "You need to let them go. We can talk this out. No one needs to get hurt."

The criminals exchanged glances, uncertainty flickering in their eyes.

The weight of the moment hung heavily in the air, and everyone knew that the safety of the senator and Alice depended on how this tense standoff would play out.

"Patakasin niyo kami kapalit ng kalayaan ng dalawang to," Mr. Duterte stated firmly, his voice steady and commanding.

The intensity in his gaze reflected the gravity of the situation, and it was clear that he was fully aware of the risks involved.

He stood tall, projecting an air of authority that demanded attention.

The tension around thickened as the police replied, "I assure you, we can discuss this further without anyone getting hurt. Your demands will be heard, but you must first release the senator and the young woman."

His tone was calm yet resolute, aiming to instill a sense of reason in the criminals while emphasizing the importance of their lives.

Mr. Duterte and his men cautiously began to maneuver around the vehicle, their movements deliberate and calculated. They maintained their grip on the two women, their hold tight and threatening.

The tension in the air was thick as the officers tried to position themselves strategically, hoping to create an opportunity for a safe resolution.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the tense silence, and the officers kept their eyes locked on the criminals, assessing their every move.

They could see the fear in the eyes of the two women, especially Alice, which fueled their determination to defuse the situation.

The criminals exchange nervous glances. The pressure from the surrounding officers was palpable, and it was clear that their confidence was beginning to wane.

In that moment, the officers seized the opportunity. The leader motioned to his team to prepare for a tactical approach while keeping his eyes locked on the captors, ensuring they felt the weight of his resolve.

Suddenly, Mr. Duterte visibly shaken, released his grip on Ms. Guo.

This small act of defiance sparked a glimmer of hope. Sensing the shift, the team leader urged his team to move in, ready to secure Ms. Guo and Senator Risa's safety.

Mr. Duterte was pushed hard on the ground by the team leader of police officers.

However, his men made some desperate attempts to regain control, so he raised his weapon.
