Grudge, business rivalry eyed in Subic slays

By Allan Macatuno - INQ7

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT-- Police are looking at personal grudge and business rivalry as among the possible motives behind the killing of a businessman and his aide here on Friday night.

Inspector Lolito Tejada, police Sation B commander in nearby Olongapo City, said businessman Uldarico Tubig, 45, who engaged in the importation of used vehicles, was shot dead by one of five assailants at around 7 p.m. as he was about to board his car.

His security aide, Rommel Pineda, was also killed when he exchanged fire with the assailants, who fled aboard a black car. Another security officer working for Tubig, Don Garin, was wounded in the shooting.

Jose Calimlim, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority senior deputy administrator for operations, said Tubig was seen talking to some people at around 5 p.m. in a restaurant in Olongapo City.
Quoting SBMA police investigators, Calimlim said Tubig went to his office at the Delki Auto Corp. on Boton Highway here at about 6 p.m. after an apparent transaction.

At around 7.p.m., the five men approached Tubig and one of them shot him from close range.
"This was the first time that a businessman was killed inside the freeport zone," Calimlim said.
Senior Pollice Officer 4 Primo de Ocampo, a technician at the Olongapo City crime laboratory, said police recovered 17 empty M-16 rifle shells from the crime scene. Stray bullets also hit a Mitsubishi Pajero parked outside the victim's office.

Calimlim said Tubig's employees recognized one of the suspects, naming him by the alias "Vanguard."

"But we still do not know how the (assailants) were able to elude our police officers. It is most likely that they are still inside the freeport since we have intensified our security in all entry and exit points," Calimlim said.
