be careful when driving thru a squatters area.

I remember Jessica Soho's old show where they featured this modus operandi of squatters where kids intentionally having themselves hit or sideswiped by vehicles and ending up with the driver being mulcted out of his last cash in his possession by the squatters.

IIRC when they featured that, Jessica Soho's team went to that squatters area where motorists complained about the mulcting. Jessica was driving an AUV and at a very slow (read snails) pace.

Out of nowhere, there was this kid who ran in front of the vehicle being driven by Jessica, mabuti na lang alerto din si Jessica. When the footage was replayed in slowmo, mapapansin mo yung bata talagang nag-aabang ng sasakyan na mabagal ang takbo.

According to some residents there, gawain daw talaga yun ng ibang squatter family para mang kotong ng mga unsuspecting drivers. Even the parents of the supposedly victim is part of that modus operandi.

Syempre nga naman, kung ikaw maka-bundol syempre you will get off your vehicle to check, once you get off the vehicle, paiikutan ka na ng tambay, tapos makikipag-areglo. Kapag di ka nakipag-areglo dun na nagsisimula ang intimidation, since you're in their territoy, ano pa nga ba ang pinaka magandang gawin kundi ang makipag areglo na lang kesa naman magulpi ka.

Yan yun na aalala ko na feature sa show noon ni Jessica Soho.
