RCBC Cabuyao, Laguna BLOODY ROBBERY

MANILA, Philippines - Five men who introduced themselves as cops were among the first visitors of the Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. in Cabuyao, Laguna, last Friday shortly before the bloody robbery there that left 10 people dead.

A report by Dan Tingcungco in GMA's 24 Oras identified the five as P/Insp. Jun Alvares, PO1 Allan Paule, PO1 Boy Mina, PO1 Gerly Ona, and PO1 Albert Malaya.

Probers however failed to find these names in the list of Philippine National Police (PNP) personnel.

The television report said the names of the five were contained in the logbook recovered by the investigators at the crime scene.

"Tinitignan natin yung authencity ng logbook, kung siya talaga ang sumulat nito, at kung siya man, freewill ba niya ito o under duress (We're checking if the security guard was the one who entered the names in the logbook. And if he did, we want to find out if he did it on his own freewill or under duress)," said Sr. Supt. Felipe Rojas, provincial director of the Laguna police.

The security guard, Baltazar Aguilando, was among the fatalities in the robbery-massacre.

Based also on the logbook, the five surrendered an armalite and a magazine ammunition upon entering the bank.

The report quoted probers as saying that the five arrived on the scene onboard a white Toyota Revo that had no plate number. It was not clear whether it was the same vehicle recovered by the police after the incident.

Four witnesses, two of them the bank's night shift guards, are already in police custody to shed light on what is now considered as the worse case of bank robbery in the country.

In a separate report by Q-TV's News on Q, Philippine National Police Chief Dir. Gen. Avelino Razon Jr said one of the suspects has already been identified by a witness from the PNP's photo gallery of bank robbery suspects. He did not elaborate.

The 24 Oras report said the suspect, who was the driver of the getaway vehicle, has been previously involved in a bank robbery in Cavite province and was currently out on bail. - GMANews.TV
