MANILA, Philippines – An employee of the local government in San Mateo, Rizal was shot dead and another was hurt during a payroll robbery in Concepcion Uno, Marikina City yesterday afternoon.

Police said workers Ma. Lily de Jesus, Marichu Felipe, Estrelita Kamos and driver Felix Alcantara had just withdrawn P1.5 million from a Land Bank branch in the area when robbers riding in tandem on a motorcycle flagged them down.

The victims tried to resist, prompting the robbers to shoot, killing De Jesus and injuring Alcantara.

Senior Superintendent Romy Magsalos, Marikina City police chief, said the van the victims were riding had 11 bullet holes.      – Non Alquitran
