Sisters held up at gunpoint
CEBU, Philippines - Two women lost P100,000 worth of valuables to two motorcycle-riding men who held them up in Barangay Kasambagan yesterday morning.
Sisters Cheryl, 21, and Claire, 20, Laspiñes were held up at gunpoint as they were heading towards a seminary for a family day activity.
The sisters told the police that they were waiting for a taxi at the corner of F. Cabahug and F. Gochan Streets when the suspects arrived and declared a hold up.
For fear of their lives, the victims handed over their bags to the suspects.
Among of the things they lost were a Chanel bag worth P80,000; eyeglasses worth P9,000; Samsung and MyPhone cellular phone worth P7,000; Sketchers shoes worth P1,500; and several student identification cards and ATM cards.
The victims said several people witnessed the incident, but ran away for fear of their lives.
They are hoping that barangay officials can augment security in the barangay because even foreign nationals have been made victim of robbers. — (FREEMAN)
