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 confirmed Sunday.
In a phone interview with ABS-CBN News, Edwin Ermita said Isagani Pastor was declared dead by his attending physician at St. James Hospital in Laguna.
Pastor was the lone survivor in the robbery-murder incident that killed eight RCBC employees and a depositor during Fridays deadly bank heist at the Science Park in Cabuyao. With Pastors death, investigators are left with only one witness, the banks female courier, in the robbery.
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 banks 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.
