Robbers only ask for P200 from victim

ILOILO CITY , Philippines   â€” Rob with moderation. This was the reality when two knife-wielding men robbed a woman shortly before midnight of Wednesday at the corner of Javellana and Commission Civil Streets in Jaro district of this city.

Instead of asking their victim, 22-year-old Christine Joy Elequin of Brgy. Our Lady of Fatima in Jaro district, to surrender her belongings, the robbers only demanded for P200 cash from her.

“They told me: This is hold-up. Do you have P200 there?” Elequin narrated her experience to the police. Out of fear and nervousness, Elequin gave them a P500 bill and even surrendered her mobile phone.

The holduppers hurriedly left the scene, leaving Elequin unharmed.  (FREEMAN)
