00:24Some Chinese and Filipinos ran to the barangay hall of Barangay Perez in Maycawayan, Bulacan

00:38The CCTV footage shows that one of the victims was holding a knife
00:42while the other was helping to remove the cable tie from his hand.

00:56Five Chinese men, two Chinese women and two Filipinos.
01:01Their hands were tied and the eyes were covered with masking tape.
01:05Maybe the money was taken first.
01:08When the money was taken from the vault,

02:00The security guards locked the gate of the house.
02:03Almost 45 minutes passed before the victims asked for help from the authorities.
