MANILA - What happened to the P60 million in casino chips allegedly stolen by gunman Jessie Javier Carlos in Resorts World Manila last June 2?

Kingson Sia, president of Resorts World Manila, said Carlos returned to the Resorts World Manila chip bank three times during the attack, grabbing millions of pesos in casino chips before he killed himself in a hotel room inside the entertainment complex.

This was according to the new video footage shown before lawmakers investigating the incident on Wednesday morning.

"In the video, we saw the gunman went back to the chip bank three times. First, our estimate is he took around P113 million. Second time he went back, he reloaded his magazine, didn't get anything," he said.

Sian added that the third time Carlos returned to the chip bank, he took at least another P60 million of chips.

"So, we've only recovered P113 million," he said.

Sian explained why they chose to show the new video to the public.

"We highlighted this footage with the audio to dramatize the fear that was instilled upon the people who were hiding, especially doon sa area na may pantry, because outside ho is where the bandoleer was placed and it continue to fire until 1230 something," he said.

A total of 36 people suffocated in thick smoke when Carlos set fire to gaming tables inside the casino during the June 2 attack.

Authorities earlier said Carlos, a father of three and former employee of the Department of Finance, was a "high roller" who had been banned from Pagcor-licensed casinos due to his addiction to gambling. With Reuters
