[bulits]

sa tabi lang ng main gate ng LISP nangyari yan. Dyan ako dumadaan everyday dahil dyan ang work ko. dumaan pa ako ng mga 8:30 am dyan kahapon pero wala naman akong napansin na may nangyayari na palang kaguluhan sa loob. sumalangit nawa ang kaluluwa ng mga biktima.

[C#@RD]

execution style, pinapila muna sila then headshot isa isa.

dami na talagang di parehas dito sa pinas.

We really are living in dangerous times bros!

Something as mundane as going to the bank to
transact business is now a life threatening
proposition.

Let's all be extra careful and pray fervently
that we shall never be "at the wrong place
at the wrong time".

[[archie]]

grabihan nga yung nangyari diyan... pati janitor tinira! sana mahuli at pahirapan sila... not just death, but death with pain!!!

[_Cathy_]

that's why I hate going to the bank. so sad really.

Talagang inubos sila, para walang makakilala sa kanila..... Halatang inside job. Pero merong isa, na buhay pa, in critical condition nga lang. Sana, "makatawid" siya. At siya lang siguro ang makapagsasabi kung sino yung mga sumalakay sa bangko.

[BackSpace]

magkano ba talaga na tangay nila.. wala ako ma confirm na report at yung CCTV sira ba talaga?

[chua_riwap]

Here's the latest......

Namatay na rin pala yung supposed to be "lone survivor". Mga halang talaga ang kaluluwa..... Mukhang malaki yung na-loot nila. Imagine, worth P3M pa yung naiwan nilang naka-kalat pa sa loob ng RCBC bank.

Walang life imprisonment! Dapat dito sa mga bank-robbers na ito, sa death penalty agad! Mga p**ang na nila!

(UPDATE) 10th victim in deadly RCBC heist dies

A bank employee who was in critical condition after he was shot in the head during a deadly robbery in Cabuyao, Laguna died in the hospital two days after the bloody incident, the head of the security department of the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) confirmed Sunday.

In a phone interview with ABS-CBN News, Edwin Ermita said bank employee Isagani Pastor was declared dead by his attending physician at St. James Hospital in Laguna at 10:30 a.m.

Pastor was the lone survivor in the robbery-murder incident that killed eight RCBC employees and a depositor during Friday’s deadly bank heist at the Science Park in Cabuyao. With Pastor’s death, investigators are left with only one individual who could identify the robbers.

Police said they were working on the composite sketch of the gunmen based on the statement of the bank’s female courier.

The other victims were identified as Roberto Castro, Ferdinand Antonio, Teresita Umayam, Noel Miranda, Juan Layva, Bernardo Lapaan Jr., Baltazar Aguilando, Olga Gonzales and Benjamin Nicdao. The bodies of the seven victims, including bank manager Castro, were discovered inside the building while the body of security guard Aguilando was found outside.

All 10 victims were killed when still unidentified suspects robbed the RCBC branch at Science Park Friday morning. Police believed that only one of the still undetermined number of assailants shot the victims.

Investigators said the robbers were already inside the RCBC when the employees reported for work Friday morning. Police said the robbers shot the employees in the head, which gave investigators suspicions that the victims knew the assailants.

The assailants also destroyed the bank’s cameras and alarms.

Investigators recovered 17 empty shells from .45 pistol and some live ammunitions from M16 from the crime scene. The suspects also left about P3 million strewn on the floor of the bank as they escaped, police said.

Police are holding in custody two security guards for their possible role in the deadly robbery in Laguna. The security guards, however, denied that they were involved in the robbery.

Senior Superintendent Felipe Rojas Jr., Laguna provincial police director, said the two "are not considered suspects yet but they are witnesses."

RCBC officials, national and local officials, families and friends of victims of the bloody killings and robbery have offered a P2-million reward for any information leading to the suspects' arrest.

President Arroyo has also ordered Philippine National Police chief Avelino Razon Jr. to "investigate the matter thoroughly,"

Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said Arroyo was "fuming" and "dismayed" over the brazenness of the attack on the victims. "It was definitely a work of the devil."

Razon has created "Task Force RCBC" to go after the perpetrators.
