Social Security Systems president Romulo Neri’s Quezon City home was peppered with bullets by armed men reportedly wearing fatigues and bonnets Friday morning, police said.

City police director Chief Superintendent Elmo San Diego said in an interview that authorities recovered some 100 spent shells from M16 rifles in and outside Neri’s home at #28 Palali Street, Sta. Mesa Heights.

President Macapagal-Arroyo on Friday condemned the strafing of Secretary Romulo Neri’s home in Quezon City, and ordered the Philippine National Police to increase the number of his security men.
