Who are those uniformed guys standing around an area in Buendia right after you cross the railroad tracks from Osmena Highway? I see three guys with 3 different uniforms and they were lounging around this motorcycle (not a police big bike). Smoke belching task force? Or the usual mulching session?

When I turned into Buendia, I immeiately noticed them, since I was among the first vehicles to turn into the avenue after the light turned green. They were apparently eyeing their next victim (from the way they were looking around, and smiling), and when I crossed, one of them walked towards my direction and seemed to flag me down. He did this even when I was like travelling around 25kph already, one car distance behind another ride in front of me. He even tried to get in between, but I ignored him and drove straight on. Looking back using my rear view mirror, I can see that from his body language, it seemed like I ws a 'prey that escaped the predator'. His two 'friends' didn't bother to stand from their relaxed leaning pose on their motorcycle to come after me. Mind you, I was still driving on around 25-30kph, I was trying to see if they'd come after me.

My companion was wondering aloud what violation did I do, of which I am not aware of any. These days, I will certainly not stop for 'anyone who'd just flag me down for no apparent cause. Hahanapan lang ako ng violation if I ever stop for these predators.

Seems that they are now targeting private vehicles that have diesel engines. Nag upgrade na sila from their favorite L300 van targets. Desperate yata sila, since I hardly saw any L300 or delivery vans driving along that time.

Oh and after around 5 seconds, I encountered 3 jeepneys belching smoke like hell.
