WARNING TO ALL, ESPECIALLY TO POVEDA PARENTS, DRIVERS, YAYAS:

LAST FRIDAY, JULY 7, 2012, AT AROUND 12:20-12:40PM, AS I WAS PICKING UP MY GRADE 5 DAUGHTER IN POVEDA, I HAD A NEAR HOLDUP/CARNAP/CARJACK EXPERIENCE.
I DROPPED MY YAYA ON GUADIX DR. CORNER POVEDA ST. , THEN I PARKED MY CAR ON ADB AVE., VERY NEAR GUADIX DR. ,BY THE SIDEWALK OF ADB AND WAITED INSIDE THE CAR.

WHILE WAITING, I WAS BUSY TEXTING. AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINS., I HEARD SOME SOUND LIKE SOMEONE WAS TOUCHING THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF MY CAR. I COULD SEE THREE WOMEN IN THE CORNER OF MY EYE. I WAS ABOUT TO UNLOCK THE DOOR SINCE I THOUGHT IT WAS MY DAUGHTER AND YAYA. THEN A MAN KNOCKED ON MY WINDOW SAYING, “MAY SUSI NA NAIPIT.”, WHILE POINTING TO THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF MY CAR, AS HE WAS HOLDING A CELLPHONE AND A CAR KEY.

I COULDN’T UNDERSTAND CLEARLY WHAT HE WAS SAYING. I WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWN AND LOOK, THEN I SUDDENLY GOT SCARED. IT JUST DAWNED ON ME THAT THIS MUST BE ONE OF THOSE “MODUS OPERANDI” THAT TED FAILON HAS BEEN WARNING DRIVERS, ESPECIALLY THE WOMEN OF.

THEN I REALIZED I SHOULDN’T HAVE OPENED MY WINDOW. SO I CLOSED IT RIGHT AWAY. THE THREE LADIES WERE UNDER A WHITE WITH RED HEARTS UMBRELLA, LOOKING DOWN NEAR MY LEFT REAR WHEEL. I COULDN’T SEE THEIR FACES BECAUSE OF THE UMBRELLA. I WAS THINKING THEIR “SUSI” MIGHT HAVE BEEN RAN OVER BY MY WHEEL, SO I STARTED MY CAR AND SLIGHTLY MOVED IT FORWARD. I WAS WAITING FOR THEM TO PICK UP THE “SUSI”, BUT THE LADIES JUST LEFT AND WALKED TOWARDS GUADIX DR., AND THE MAN WENT BACK TO MY WINDOW SIDE AND SAID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I MOVED THE CAR SLIGHTLY FORWARD AGAIN AS I WAS READY TO SPEED AWAY. THEN HE LEFT, GOING TOWARDS THE LADIES WHO WALKED.

I WATCHED THEM WHILE THEY WERE WALKING. THE MAN WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE ON HIS CELLPHONE OR MAYBE PRETENDING. THEN THE MAN WALKED BACK TOWARDS ADB AGAIN, THIS TIME WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK OF ADB. I WAS READY TO LEAVE IF HE EVER COMES BACK TO ME AGAIN. BUT HE JUST CONTINUED WALKING STILL TALKING ON HIS CELLPHONE.

THEN FINALLY, MY YAYA AND MY DAUGHTER ARRIVE. I ASKED HER IF HER KEYS ARE WITH HER OR MAYBE “NAIPIT” BY THE DOOR. BUT IT WAS IN HER BAG.

SO WE LEFT AND MOVED TOWARDS THE DIRECTION OF PODIUM. THE MAN WAS WALKING TOWARDS THE SAME DIRECTION AND TALKING ON HIS CELLPHONE.

ON HINDSIGHT, HE WAS GIVING ME THE IMPRESSION THAT HE WAS A DRIVER OF ONE OF THE STUDENTS’ CARS, THAT’S WHY HE WAS SHOWING ME HIS CELLPHONE AND A CAR KEY, AND MAYBE I WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE AND GET OUT OF MY CAR AND LOOK AT THE REAR LEFT BOTTOM PART OF MY CAR, WHERE THE LADIES WHERE LOOKING AND TO WHERE HE WAS POINTING. THEN THAT WOULD BE HIS CHANCE TO HOLDUP/CARNAP/CARJACK.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO MMDA TRAFFIC AIDES/POLICE IN THE AREA AT THAT TIME. NORMALLY THERE IS ONE AT THE INTERSECTION OF ADB AVE., GUADIX DR., POVEDA ST., AND ONE IN A MOTORCYLE ROVING ALONG ADB AVE.

I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE HEARD TED FAILON’S WARNING THAT MORNING, OVER DZMM RADIO. THAT THE NEW MODUS OPERANDI OF THESE PEOPLE NOW, IS TO TARGET LADY DRIVERS, WHO ARE CAUGHT UNAWARE, BECAUSE THEY ARE BUSY TEXTING, PUTTING ON MAKE-UP, ETC . IT IS NO LONGER THE “RIDING IN TANDEM” STYLE. THERE IS IS JUST ONE GUY ON A MOTORCYLE, WHO PURPOSELY BUMPS YOUR CAR. SINCE IT’S NOT THE “RIDING IN TANDEM” STYLE, YOU FEEL IT’S REALLY AN ACCIDENT, SO YOU GO DOWN TO CHECK, THEN ANOTHER GUY RIDES AND SPEEDS AWAY WITH YOUR CAR. SO HE SAID, IF THAT HAPPENS, JUST IGNORE IT AND MAKE SURE YOU GET OUT OF THE SCENE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

ANOTHER ONE IS, THEY TIE SOME TIN CANS AT THE REAR OF YOUR CAR, SO WHEN YOU MOVE, YOU WILL HEAR THEM SOUND, THEN YOU GO DOWN TO CHECK WHAT IT IS, AND THEY GET YOUR CAR.

SO PLEASE, DEAR PARENTS, PLEASE LOCK YOUR DOORS ALWAYS, INSTRUCT YOUR DRIVERS AND YAYAS TO BE EXTRA, EXTRA VIGILANT. MAKE YOUR CHILDREN AWARE OF THIS. . WE ARE NOT SAFE IN THOSE STREETS. BEST IS TO WAIT ALONG POVEDA ST. WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD BE AFTER A HOLDUP/CARNAP/CARJACK....GOD FORBID.

I THANK GOD, MAMA MARY, MY GUARDIAN ANGEL FOR SAVING ME AND GIVING ME THE PRESENCE OF MIND. AND THANK YOU TED FAILON FOR WARNING US ALL THE TIME!
