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.

[artpogi]

tsk, tsk, tsk! Buti na lang walang tinamaan. Dapat dun sa mga yun i-salvage agad.

MGA BWISET!!!!:evil:

[dazedchiq]

natakot ako dun, a... i live in bicutan pa nman...

thank you so much for the helpful info!

[1D4LV]

actually, it can happen anywhere kung saan traffic. so be vigilant na lang...

:shock:

[crawdaddy]

wow. I hope they catch those guys soon!

and yes, ALWAYS lock your doors... never mo malalaman kung may mangyayaring ganyan sayo or hinde... kahit short distances lang and hindi kayo familiar with the area, lock pa rin...

[crawdaddy]

nakakagulat naman kayo! while I was typing my first reply si kupaloids palang ang may reply, pagka-refresh ng page 4 na tayong may reply after kupaloids! haha!

I strongly agree... sana magkaron tayo ng chance sagasaan ang mga yan no?

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?

Assasination?

[palerider47]

tsk tsk tsk, natakot ako dun ah, i usually visit my father in merville area, dyan sa service road na yan ako parati dumadaan.

THanKs for the info.

Bili nalang cguro ako ng .22 revolver or 9mm

Magpapasko na nga pala, INGAT INGAT INGAT.:roll:

[Supierreman]

I don't usually go to the south area pero thanks for the warning. Ngayon i-lock ko na talaga doors ko.

Buti pa yung AE92 ko noon meron lock/unlock swithc sa door panel. Yung Civic ko wala eh kaya minsan nakakalimutan i-lock.

Pero at least when I turn the ignition automatic lock yung doors. On this note about locking doors... ok yung sa Nissan Exalta with the speed sensitive automatic door locks. Iwish all cars had that. 8)

[NightRock]

Ingat kayo lalo na ngayon Malapit na PASKO.. daming nga kalat na ganyan sa manila...

[pyoyong1]

Thanks for the info.

Nakaranas na rin akong ma-holdap, pero sa bus ako noon. Lima sila at dalawa sa kanila ang may baril. Bumaba sila sa may tapat ng Alaska sa SLEX makalampas ng Susanna Heights.

Five years after, dalawa sa kanila, nakita kong sumakay sa Crossing. Bumaba sila sa may Sucat. Hindi sila nangholdap sa bus na sinakyan ko. Pero sila yung mga mukhang natatandaan ko.

Ingat lang tayong lahat. If we have to go on a trip, low-profile lang ang getup naming mag-anak. Concealed lahat ng cellphones namin sa bulsa. Tapos walang alahas na suot kami liban sa relo. Pero more often than not, walang pinipili din ang mga walang kaluluwang iyan. Kaya the best is plan out our trips and be careful sa daan.

[cliffjumper]

tapang naman nyang mga yan.. kahit maraming tao tumitira pa rin.. jan pa naman ako dumadaan kapag pumupunta kaming skytrek :mrgreen: dapat siguro magpalit na ako ng darker tint..

ghosthunter,

No I think it was more of a foiled rubbery. Natiktikan yatang may dalang malaking pera at sinundan, kaso may kasama at lumaban kaya lang dedbol yung driver. Isa rin tinamaan sa mga holduper kaya lang nakatakbo pa din.

[jaspi11]

thanks for the info. im fron south minsan nagdadaan din service road.
