Pagadian City — Residents of Purok Sweetlove in Barangay Dumagoc were left stunned after a man reportedly survived an afternoon shooting without being pierced by a bullet on December 7, 2025.
The victim, identified only as alias “Unsi,” a resident of Purok New Agora, Barangay Santa Lucia, told witnesses he felt the impact of the gunfire but was not actually wounded. According to those who saw him moments after the incident, the alleged bullet entry point appeared more like a burn mark rather than a gunshot wound. This unusual detail has stirred speculation among netizens, with some suggesting the possibility of protective gear or other explanations behind his apparent immunity.
Initial police reports state that the unidentified suspect quickly fled the scene right after the shooting. Authorities believe the victim and the gunman may know each other, though the motive remains unclear.
Investigators are now working to determine the exact circumstances of the incident, including whether a firearm was indeed discharged and why the victim sustained no penetrating injury. The Pagadian City Police urge anyone with information to come forward to help identify the suspect and shed light on the unusual case.
