MANILA, Philippines – A Chinese trader was shot by two unidentified motorcycle-riding robbers in Caloocan City Wednesday afternoon.

Superintendent Florendo Quibuyen, the city police officer-in-charge, said Sze Man Yim, 60, a resident of Manila, sustained two gunshot wounds in the body.

Police Officer 3 Joselito Barredo Jr. said Sze was walking at the corner of J. Teodoro street and 3rd Avenue when two men on a motorcycle suddenly grabbed his bag at around 1:30 p.m.

Sze resisted but one of the suspects, armed with a handgun, shot him twice in the body.

The suspects took the victim’s bag, containing more than P200,000, and sped away on their motorcycle.
