Ombudsman: Former Senate sergeant-at-arms Aplasca dismissed from service

The Ombudsman of the Philippines, Jesus Crispin Remulla, has officially dismissed former Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca from his position. This decision follows an investigation into a May incident involving gunfire within the Senate building. Aplasca had previously been suspended for six months while the case was reviewed. The Ombudsman mentioned that the formal decision would be released soon but did not provide further details on the reasoning behind the dismissal. The incident occurred during a tense period when Senator Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa was placed under preventive custody by the Senate.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the facts of the situation without apparent bias. It reports the actions of the Ombudsman and provides background information on the circumstances leading to the dismissal. There is no evident favoritism toward any political side, and the language used remains neutral throughout
