Just last Sunday, I heard that there was a holdup at Bo's coffee (just in front of Miriam College) at lunchtime. They were 2 men who came via motorcyle and held up the cashier and customers (took cash and laptops daw). I'm thinking this might be a syndicate. Some dormers also report of having their laptop bags being snatched while walking by the road by a man on a motorcyle too. This was evening time. i guess walang pinipiling oras ang mga magnanakaw... Nakakatakot na ba talaga sa Katipunan ngayon? Hi, actually I’ve heard of several incidents already through the years since I work at one of the dorms in the Katipunan strip.

Isa pang delikado is the BPI beside Shoppersville. Sa gabi kasi the parking near the ATMs are chained off, so medyo malayo lalakarin ng mga magwi-withdraw from the parking area. I think I remember a case of hold-up there and even an attempted rape. Yeah, I heard about that one. Isa pang delikado is the BPI beside Shoppersville.

I know of a near kidnap case of my daughter L's batchmate. A few steps away is the barangay hall. At around 7pm, L's batchmate was walking back towards her dorm when 2 men dragged her to car. She yelled so loudly that nearby construction men came to the rescue. @Gail- talaga. I know of a near kidnap case of my daughter L’s batchmate. A few steps away is the barangay hall.

My wife teaches at a preschool along the Katipunan strip, and that's also where my eldest studies. I never thought Katipunan is a target, although this is very likely given the affluence--perceived or real--of the community in the vicinity. Darn.
