MANILA, Philippines -- Four men clad in “polo barong” staged a daring daylight robbery at a bakeshop in Makati City Sunday, making off with the customers’ valuables and leaving two of them hurt.

According to the police, the suspects entered the Red Ribbon Bakeshop on Jupiter Street in Barangay Bel-Air at 10:44 a.m.

Wielding handguns, they announced a holdup and began taking customers’ possessions, including mobile phones and wallets, Giovanni Claro, the bakeshop’s operations manager, told investigators.

A customer, Michelle Yap, 46, of Diliman, Quezon City, resisted when the men grabbed her purse, prompting one of them to shoot her thrice, said SPO3 Arlene Randrup of the Police Community Precinct 9.

Yap was rushed to the Makati Medical Center for wounds in the right chest, right armpit and left thigh. Randrup, however, said that the victim has been declared out of danger.

Another suspect hit with a gun the hand of customer Dina Torralba Suarez after she refused to give up her laptop computer.

She was later brought to the nearby MTECH Hospital for minor bruises, Randrup told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

The police officer said only the customers were robbed as the suspects did not try to open the cash register of the bakeshop.

According to witnesses, the four men left on board two motorcycles.

------------------------------

Just wondering why the bakeshop was spared. I heard that Ms. Yap, who belongs to a prominent family, was the real target.

[lolo pepe]

target nga siguro si Ms. Yap. siya binaril pero yung isang customer hindi. pareho lang naman silang nag resist ibigay possessions nila.

kamag anak kaya ng Inquirer reporter si Ms. Yap? pareho silang me surname na Yap. wala lang...

[dieselNUBI]

maybe there was something in Ms. Yap's bag that they were after...

[fearless]

nakita ko yang news na yan,ang story diyan nung walng makuha sa cash register ng red ribbon, bumaling ang attention nila sa mga customers, the two were that were injured, are the ones who resisited in giving their personal belongings,after that, they just sped off, as if na walang nangyari.

grabe talaga ang panahon ngayon, kahit sino tinatalo na at nakakagukat diyan, kahit umaga pa lang tumitira na ang mga walanghiyang mga eto.

[Horsepower]

that's weird. Akala ko may motorcycle screening jan sa Makati?

[vhenok]

Eto na nga ang loopholes on MC screening in Makati, seen some of them pero puro major thoroughfares lang...sa dami ba naman ng side streets sa Binay Republic pwede kahit saan lumusot mga mokong na yun!

Ingat na lang din tayo peeps!
