BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya ,Philippines  – A P200,000 reward has been offered for any person who can provide information leading to the arrest of the killers of a manager of a rural bank in Isabela who was shot in front of his house Sunday morning.

Chief Inspector Alejandrino Gannaban, Angadanan town police chief, said Vice Mayor Jose Panganiban offered the P200,000 bounty for the identification of the killers of Rufo Uy, manager of the Rural Bank of Angadanan.

Uy, 65, was gunned down while waiting for his wife to board their white Honda Civic in front of their house in Angandanan’s Centro 2 village around 9:15 a.m. 

The couple was preparing to go to Tuguegarao City in Cagayan when the suspects, who were riding in tandem on a motorcycle, approached the victim and shot him repeatedly.

“We see Uy’s slay as work-related,” said Gannaban, adding that the victim had been receiving threats in recent days before his killing.
