THEY were just doing their jobs.

A security guard was shot dead while a fellow watchman was seriously wounded after two car-riding men opened fire at them near the toll plaza at the North Luzon Expressway early Wednesday morning.

Reynaldo Cortez, 45, union president of the Philippine National Construction Company security guards, died of several gunshot wounds in the body.

Truck flagged down

His fellow guard Benjamin Dabu, 47, is undergoing treatment, police said on Wednesday.

The two guards flagged down a cargo truck on the northbound lane of the expressway about 2 a.m. for alleged overloading.

But just as the they were about to detach the truck's plates, a red Pajero suddenly stopped in front of the truck.

Two men got out of the Pajero and started shooting Cortez and Dabu using still unknown types of handguns.

Although wounded, Dabu managed to run and jump on a passing bus.

Cortez was left behind lying on the pavement.

The gunmen then reportedly walked up to him and shot him repeatedly.

One of the suspect then reportedly yelled "Sino pa? Sino pa?" said another guard, Juanito Cobardo, 51.

Cobardo told the police that the gunmen did not see him because he was urinating nearby when they struck.

Dead on arrival

Cortez was already dead when he was brought to the Manila Central University Hospital.

Caloocan City police chief Leo Garra said the killers were apparently escorting the cargo truck.

Garra said it was possible the truck contained hot items and the killers panicked when the security guards began inspecting the cargo.

Both the truck and Pajero then drove off.

[pajerokid]

They may be hiding something worth killing people for.

[hagiber]

Most likely yun na nga, could be a shipment of smuggled goods, or drugs, or something else.. on the other hand... nothing is worth killing another human for.

........ and to think of it naka-pajero yung mga gunmen. talagang yumayaman ang mga salot sa bayan!!!!!!!!

[pissword]

grabe talaga lakas ng loob.

bakit hindi naman natawagan agad ni cobardo ang mga exits?? lahat naman may mga patrol na nagaabang diba..

[CZintrclr]

bakit nga ba hindi ito naharang sa ibang exits or kung that toll was the last exit dapat madali itong nahanap ng mga mobile patrol units dahil sa laki ba naman ng trailer truck and hindi rin ito makakatakbo ng malayo agad.

o baka naman naireport pero walang may gusto mag-respond dahil natakot baka sila mabaril din.

[Ungas]

Naunahan na nang takot at taranta ang PNCC employees. Tsaka hindi rin nakuha yung plate numbers ng dalawang sasakyan.

[tagalnasaabroad]

pano mahuli ang ayaw hulihin..?!..aber..?..

sadyang pinalusot iyon saka nalang maghahatian..gen. aglipay..yooohooo..??dyan ka pa ba..?

[gearspeed]

Nakakaawa naman yung nabaril...: (
Sana mahuli na yung mga yun at ma death penalty na yung mga gunmen...Kung pwede nga ma firing squad sila....

[ghost_2192]

Wala na talaga, wala na ngang justice dito panay just-tiis na lang. Di na talaga uunlad ang pinas, lahat na lang natatakot baka madamay I can't blame them though. Hayop talaga ang mga taong iyan kamag-anak ng mga Senatong at Tongressman yan. Baka may connection naman sa cabinet ni Gloria.

[OTEP]

Hindi ata sila capable na tumawag at magpablock ng exits.

I outran the PNCC cops during my younger days. (long story)

[kiper]

So what happened with the truck? Nasan na?

[karlbo]
