In his report Senior Supt. Fernando Villanueva, Bulacan police director, said that at 9:15 p.m. Miwa was on his way home walking along M. Galvez Street in Barangay Wawa when the robbers, one of them armed with a handgun, blocked his path and grabbed his bag.

When Japanese refused to let go of his bag, the armed robber shot him twice on the left leg.

Taken from Miwa was his bag containing P12,000 cash, ¥60,000, a JAL Visa card, a Citibank card, and his driver’s license.

The robbers fled on board a motorcycle. —Amita O. Legaspi/VS, GMANews.TV
