dear friends,
i just met with a friend yesterday who had just emerged from a 9-hour
ordeal. he was kidnapped in the heart of the makati business district!
around noon the day before, he emerged from lpl towers on leviste st.,
salcedo village to go to a lunch meeting in pasong tamo. he decided
not to take his car because parking in makati can be a hassle. talking
on the phone, he hopped into the first available cab.
later he realized the cab was taking a route that was unusual. he
called the driver's attention to this but was ignored. the cab entered
into urban road, the road by urban bank which is parallel to buendia.
it stopped and three other men got in.
he tried to struggle but they stabbed his wrist which of course bled
profusely. when he heard the sound of a gun being cocked, he stopped
struggling and gave in to all their demands. they had him withdraw
from all four bank accounts, took his cel phone and palm pilot and
dropped him off in cavite somewhere near trece martires. the motorists
ignored him as he tried to flag them down but he was finally able to
make it back to makati somehow.
he reported the incident to the makati police and was told that it was
the third such incident in the week. one happened to a student who got
a cab in rockwell, the other to a citibank female executive who was
taking a cab from paseo de roxas to glorietta but ended up in cavite.
the cabs were stolen. i assume all targets were well-dressed (my
friend was in coat and tie) and upwardly-mobile looking. where hapless
expats and tourist used to be the victims of similar crimes, young
executies and students are now the new targets. the please warn your
friends to be careful about taxicabs especially in the makati
district. perhaps the best way to take a taxi would be in the queues
where they hand you a piece of paper with all the taxi info and the
ltfrb number, or to call for one from a reputable cab company such as
golden or r & e.
