Boholanos Robbed in Cotabato Highway
« on: February 27, 2008, 09:20:56 PM »
The Bohol Chronicle

Seven students and three teachers coming from schools here in Tagbilaran City were held-up by six unidentified armed men in Carmen, North Cotabato yesterday afternoon.

The students and teachers were among delegates, representing Central Visayas, to the National Schools Press Conference hosted by Koronadal City, South Cotabato last February 18 to 22.

The victims were onboard a Rural Transit bus, together with 26 other passengers, that left Koronadal City for Cagayan de Oro City about 9:30 a.m. yesterday.

They were identified as Themistocles Bongcac, Ma. Nenita Mandin, Natividad Bagaipo, teacher-coaches; Bjorn Ebojo of Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School; Mark Ed Decierdo of Tagbilaran City Science High School; Gabrielle Dagayan and Darlene Acedo of CVSCAFT-Tagbilaran; Daryl Bernaldez, Cielo Tumale and Nestor Naparota of Holy Name University.

Bagaipo, one of the victims told the Chronicle that the bus they boarded made a stop-over in Cabacan, North Cotabato around noontime for lunch.

After having lunch, the passengers boarded back the bus but noticed that there were six new passengers who were "strong looking and dark complexioned".

The six men reportedly positioned themselves strategically on the bus.

After about a 30 minute drive when the bus came to an isolated area, Bagaipo said, all the six men stood and shouted "Hold up ito". At this point she and the rest of the passengers noticed that all of the six men were armed.

The robbers seized all valuables from passengers while they kept shouting instructions for them to put their heads down.

According to Bagaipo, one 19-year old male passenger was shot by the suspects to the chest. (to follow up update - name and condition)

While the armed men were taking off valuables, Bagaipo said, she managed to draw her cellular phone from her bag and dropped it on the floor as she was hoping to contact relatives regarding the incident.

"I didn't see what happened to the other passengers as I was bending my head towards the floor, as low as I can," she said, "but I can hear all their (armed robbers) shouts and threats that they will kill us if we reported to the police."

The highway robbery happened just a few minutes, as the suspects fled aboard three Honda XRM motorcycles that were just parked at the roadside.

The victims reported the incident at the Carmen Municipal Police Station.

Most of the victims lost their bags and wallets with cash, ATM cards, credit cards, watches, cellular phones, cameras, and jewelries.

FINANCIAL AID

After learning of the incident, First District Rep. Edgar Chatto called up his congressional colleague Rep. Lala Mendoza of North Cotabato.

Mendoza immediately dispatched a staff who handed P30,000 to the 10 victims from Bohol which will partly shoulder travel expenses going back to Tagbilaran City.

I want to live by the moment and worry no more about my future because I know that God has already made the best plan for me. All I have to do is be faithful to HIM all the time. GOD rocks!

News like this is sad, that such poverty would drive people to acts of violence. Buanga pood sila ngano mo mo rob man, they should just get a job, bahala ug gamay ra ang salary, so long as naa sila'y trabaho.

Kai lazy sila mo tulis ra.

I still don't want to accept na due to poverty ni, Dong!  And I can't believe people would feed their family from the money or property they have stolen and had caused so much anguish to other people.

Either through poverty or not, its hard for me to believe that these people could go on living know that they killed or hurt a person for a couple of pesos and some jewelry. How they can go on living and not be affected by their conscience is something.

I feel so bad for that one individual who was shot in the chest.

Unbelievable.

Agree, Dong!  Decayed na kaayo ilang mind!  I wish we have way of knowing if the person who was shot survived...

OmG! kalooy. Another alarming news from going to those areas. It must be very hard for the victims and it might be traumatic for them too. Sad :(

Anyone knows and inhis right mind to travel light in Cotobato, the place is dangerous. Why would you want to wear exspensive jeweleries and take mahal cell phones on such a risky place and everyone knows it.

Its sad it happened but these days it is no longer shocking, it is crisis times and peope act out during the worst of times doing the stupidist things.

I do not even wear a real gold ring out there anymore not even a cheap one.

This past two months are hard more then ever from what I have experienced in the past.

People need to pay attention and realize that we are not living in a world of security lake before.
We must be vigilant at all times.

Blue Philippine law has them protected, and the name or the identity will ever be in print.
 It has been a minor law for a long time in the media.
