Two unidentified men held up a Ceres bus and its passengers early Thursday morning along the national highway in Brgy. Malusay, Guihulngan, Oriental Negros, the police said.

Investigations showed the suspects took away four cellphones, more than P3,000 in cash from the passengers, and an undetermined amount from the fare collection that day.

Passengers and the conductor of the bus with body number 7106 described the hold-uppers as being in their 20's.

The two men, wearing short pants and T-shirts, boarded the bus in Brgy. Poblacion, Guihulngan. The bus was on its way to San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, at about 12:30 a.m. Thursday when, on reaching Sitio Lamacan in Malusay, the two men pulled out their hand guns and declared a hold-up.

After divesting the passengers and the conductor of their cash and cellphones, the hold-uppers ordered the driver to stop the bus, and they disembarked at Sitio Gui-ob, Brgy. Calamba, Guihulngan.*RG
