MANILA, Philippines - At least eight bank employees and a security guard were lined up and shot dead in the head Friday in a bloody Philippine bank robbery, police said. Another employee was in critical condition at a hospital.

The victims were found sprawled out on the floor of a branch of the Rizal
Commercial Banking Corp. in the town of Cabuyao in Laguna province, south of Manila, after customers alerted authorities when the bank failed to open as scheduled, said chief police Superintendent Ricardo Padilla.
"This is the handiwork of the devil and we will not let this pass," Padilla said. "They were killed in a gangland-style execution. Each of the victims shot in the head while lined up."

He said two security guards were missing, leading authorities to suspect they were involved in the robbery. It was not immediately clear how much money was stolen.

Padilla said the robbers could have used silencers, because residents in the area heard no gunshots coming from the bank.
Bank Vice President Edwin Ermita told The Associated Press the assailants tried to hide the body of the security guard under a tarpaulin in the rear of the bank.

Laguna provincial police chief, Felipe Rojas, said a vehicle owned by one of the bank employees was used by the robbers to escape. It was later recovered several miles away and will be checked for fingerprints, he said.
He said the victims, including two inside the open bank vault, were shot point-blank.

Empty handgun shells were recovered on the bank floor, and a shotgun believed to be owned by the slain security guard was found outside, he said.
Bank robberies are common but rarely as deadly in the Philippines. Rojas said this was the worst in the country's history.

The robbers who did this should be tied up, painted with honey and then left on top of an anthill be eaten alive.

Once caught, they should be executed in a very painful manner, chop their *** organ, then put it inside their mouth then put them inside a big drum with their head sticking out of the water and cook them alive!

It was an inside job most probably perpetrated by the branch's own security guards. Why else will they kill everyone inside the branch if not the robber/killer was known to them and did not want anyone alive to pinpoint them.

A similar thing happened before. Sa umaga palang at hindi pa nagbubukas yung bangko, nandoon na sa loob ng branch yung mga robbers. Accomplice yung night security guard at pinapasok niya yung mga kasama niyang magnanakaw. Pagdating nung mga empleyado sa umaga, isa isa silang tinali at kinulong sa loob ng vault. In that incident, many years ago, at least walang pinatay. Pero dito sa RCBC it was gruesome. When I first heard it over the radio, pumasok nga sa isip ko na baka Abu Sayyaf ang may kagagawan dahil sukdulan ang kahayupan.

I worked in a bank before as a branch officer. Ang bilin sa amin noon, pag naholdap kami ay ibigay kaagad yung pera tutal insured naman yun.

Meron kami noon nang mga armored trucks na in-attack ng mga bank robbers using grenade launchers. There were travelling tellers and security guards who were slain in there.

Its scary working for a Bank.

ang masama nga lang sa pinas, pag pinahirapan ang mga taong halang, kalaban mo naman human rights... hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit minsan kasi mas binibigyan pa nila ng karapatan ang mga masasama kesa sa mga biktima.. kaya hindi takot ang mga iyan gumawa ng masasama.
