Guys,


I failed to share you this experience that happened to me last Sept. 24.


I'm sending this to you to let you know about that incident which happened
to me Tuesday night around 6:30pm.


I was in a car with Angelo (my boyfriend) and his cousin Peter. I was
sitting at the front passenger seat. The three of us were engaged in
conversation while stuck in southbound traffic at the west service road
somewhere between Merville Subdivision and Bicutan.


I was surprised to have a man wearing a black shirt and cap knocking loudly
outside my window. At first i didn't understand what he was saying, but
then he was trying to open the car door and banging at the window demanding
for our cellphones. I just thank God so much I have the habit of locking
the door everytime I ride a car.


Anyway, I looked around us to figure out what else was happening, and I saw
two more men step down from the jeepney in front of our car and one of them
drew a gun and pointed it at Angelo when he maneuvered the car to move
away.



When I saw the gun and pointed at Angelo, I got so scared I covered my eyes
and screamed. I felt the car move and a shot went off. I felt glass
spraying on the side of my face, hands, all over!! The car was moving and
we were able to get away from the bad guys.


Apparently, Angelo drove on, through counterflow. He had no choice.


So I was crying like hell. Angelo and Peter were asking me if I was hit.
I
didn't know, so I opened my eyes and checked myself. The bullet hole on
the
window was right beside my nose! Had I not reclined my seat a little, I
would've been hit on the face. The bullet was lodged on the driver's side
window edge.


We went to the police to report this incident. They said we were the fifth
victim of a series with this group of bad men. The driver of the jeepney
in
front of us during that incident was at the station too and was reporting
the robbery those men did to him and his passengers. He said the armed man
even hit one of the woman passengers with the butt of the gun.


I heard one of the bad guys is in jail now... The rest are roaming free...
Their modus operandi is robbing people in their own vehicles while caught
in
traffic and there's nowhere to go.


Why email this? To tell you to be careful passing the south expressway
service road.


Lock your cars.
Avoid using your cellphones where it's visible from outside the car.
If you can see the heavy traffic ahead, turn around and just take the
expressway. Don't worry if you need to pay the toll fee, it's worth your
safety.

Thanks for that very informative and very alarming post.

Nakakatakot na pala talaga dyan sa atin. Sa service road pa sila tumitira.

Make it a habit to lock your doors.

Sa panahon ngayon, ingat talaga dapat kahit nasan kang lupalop sa Manila. Mismo sa bahay mo ingat pa rin. They can strike anywhere and anytime.

My brother-in-law had one experience he'll never forget. While he was on a traffic jam, a man riding a motorcycle casually walk to a car in front him and shot the driver on the head, point blank! There were shots coming from the car as well, so just imagine kung tamaan ka din?
