another traffic holdup

this was forwarded by a PAL employee. be careful......


Hi Friends,

Oliver of advertising and promotions here. Word of advice, whenever
possible, try to avoid Quirino avenue. I was robbed yesterday morning
on
the way to PAL center. I was alone in the car, stuck in traffic. the
car
was locked and the windows were up. I don't know how the hell they did
it
but they broke in and it all happened so fast. 2 guys. one acted as a
decoy
who was distracting me from the passenger side while the other picked
the
lock on my side. The radio was on so i wasn't able to hear the lock
being
picked. When he managed to open the door, i tried to fight him off. He
was
asking for my cellphone pointing a 4-inch knife at me. His partner had
already opened the passenger side of the car and he was rummaging for
stuff
to take. I almost got my face sliced up by the one with the knife when
he
lunged for an attack when i refused to give up my watch. the knife
grazed
my jaw but small scratch lang. buti na lang umilag ako or he would
have
sliced my throat open. They took some cash and my Palm Pilot which was
in
the seat compartment. They probably thought it was a cellphone. They
took
off when the driver in the car beside me opened his door.

Take extra care and be more aware of what's going on in your
environment
especially when you're all alone in the car. and whenever you guys are
enroute to manila via nagtahan, take the UN route instead. much safer
..
but don't get your hopes up. remember, you're still in the
Philippines.

Attached herewith is a map of where the incident happened.

for awareness, please pass to your circle of friends.
