Police have identified the victim as 25-year old Jennylyn Aquino, who is an accounting personnel of Vescon Construction.
The victim disembarked from a vehicle when a man, who seemed to be waiting for her, forcibly took the bag with the money from her.

The victim fell on the road while the gunman managed to cart away the bag and fled onboard a motorcycle.
Pieces of cash fell and scattered on the road in the gunman's haste to get away.
Aquino was rushed to a private hospital in the city where she was declared dead.
Police recovered an empty shell fired from a caliber .45 from the scene.
According to the Mambaling Police, Felboy, the driver, was questioned.
Investigators will consider the possibility of an inside job because the assailants knew when Aquino was arriving and what she brought with her.
