ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – Five masked men barged into a government hospital in Zamboanga Sibugay and took at gunpoint at least P1 million in cash last Friday, officials reported yesterday. 

Police said three of the robbers were armed with caliber .45 pistols and threatened to shoot Marieta Jangad, cashier of the Zamboanga Sibugay Provincial Hospital in Barangay Sanito.

Investigators have yet to review footage taken by surveillance cameras installed in the hospital to identify the robbers.
