[Title] => Still vexed in the city by more blatant crime
[Summary] => When I wrote about the crime wave in the streets of Metro Manila (Gotcha, 24 Nov. 2003), I was hoping to jolt the police from stupor. I failed.
The article did something else, though. I had said that Manilans, feeling it futile, dont bother to report to the police how they were scammed by cabbies or ATM conmen or police impostors at the malls. They prefer to just circulate their sad tales on the Internet, I noted, as if they can exact justice by warning others and hopefully deprive criminals of more victims. Now people seek me out or e-mail me to tell their story.
