Beware When Changing Money...

Shooting Near Norma's money changer in Angeles

 

It took place on the corner of Teodoro and Felicitas, SM-1. The victim was a Philippine male who had just been to the bank getting cash to make a payroll. He lives on that block near the corner.

 

He had been followed from the bank by 2 Philippine males who attacked him at that corner with guns. He was fired upon and sustained 2 gunshot wounds. One in the leg and one in the foot. He defended himself and somehow was able to grasp one of the weapons, returning fire and sending one of his attackers to the hospital.

 

Money was scattered about during the incident but I am told the locals gathered up the cash and returned it to the victim. When I walked past, around one pm there were about 8-10 police scanning the location for evidence, with shell casing positions marked about the area and a barrier tape cordoning off the space around the victim's car.

one thing I cant understand, is WHY??? do people still pay their employees in cash? than w/a ATM

debt card. many firms do that now.

 

 thanks for the post HOTROD :thumbsup:

 

maybe this can make others(members of the forum) aware that the danger still exist when exchanging large sums 

of money,,

 

my example is

I pay my rent at the bank, deposited directly into the "landlords account"

its a win -win for both of us, He doesnt have the money at home,reduces his risk.he cant spend it either

and I can put it in when i am out and its more convenient ,

When I first got here I sang the praises of using a local bank debit card for all my purchases and paying my rent by local check ...... and after fighting the ignorance and indifference and non training of personal shown by businesses in excepting this simple little plastic card (not talking about little businesses either SM supermarket was one example) for 2 years I decided why fight them .... join them .... so now for us cash is king ..... just one small example of reverting back to the 19th century .... :mocking: :mocking: 

IMHE .... (In My Humble Experience)

Who just happened to be armed with a gun he took from one of his assailants. :tiphat: Probably not a good idea not to steal from a man who has just been in a gunfight with people trying to take his money. :hystery:

read this earlier and hummm   :89:                 (thought i would share)

seems it not a good idea to rob when bystanders are near either

 

 

QUEZON CITY, Philippines – The blaring horn got the neighborhood’s attention and sent out a call for street justice.

Two teenagers got mauled by an angry mob in Quezon City late Thursday night,

after the taxi driver they allegedly robbed repeatedly honked the horn to alert bystanders and prevent the suspects’ escape.

 

One of the suspects later died in a hospital from the severe beating  . :th_interesting:

 

The fatality was identified as Aron Concepcion, 18, who died while receiving treatment at Quezon City General Hospital. His alleged cohort, Christian de Guzman, 19, was also treated there for injuries.

The two teenagers allegedly posed as passengers and robbed Ildefonso Ferrer, 50,

at knife-point inside the taxi he was driving in Barangay Mariana, according to the investigator, PO2 Gilmer Marinas.

 

Ferrer was driving along Betty Go Belmonte Street when the two men hailed the cab and asked to be brought to Rosario Drive. Upon reaching the area around 11:45 p.m., they announced a holdup and took Ferrer’s earnings worth P4,500.

 

Immediately after the suspects stepped out of the cab, the driver locked all doors and started honking the horn, drawing the attention of several bystanders.

Alerted to the robbery, they spotted and caught up with Concepcion and De Guzman,

ganging up on the two until barangay watchmen arrived and stopped the beatings.

 

Ferrer got his money back  . :thumbsup:

 

Concepcion died of severe head and body injuries around 4:45 a.m. Friday

. De Guzman was later discharged from the hospital and was brought straight to jail to face charges.

Asked if the bystanders could also be held liable for the excessive and fatal use of force in stopping the suspects,

 

Marinas said charges could be filed if De Guzman could identify them.    :sign0095:

Shooting Near Norma's money changer in Angeles

Shoting near Norma's last Friday

2 armed men fail to get P400,000 loot

CAMP OLIVAS -- Two armed men on board a motorcycle tried to rob a 25-year-old man who just withdrew P400,000 from a bank, but failed to take the loot after the money scattered on the road, reports said.

In a belated report, Senior Superintendent Eden Ugale, Angeles City police director, identified the victim as Carlos Pagtalunan, 25, of Sta. Maria, Balibago, Angeles City.

Ugale said that even at gunpoint, Pagtalunan did not want to hand over the money he had just withdrawn from a Metrobank branch in Dau, Mabalacat City to the suspects. As a result of the scuffle, the money scattered on the road.

Because the suspects were not able to get the money, they shot Pagtalunan on his right leg and then fled on board their motorcycle. The victim was taken to the Angeles University Foundation Hospital for medical treatment.

Ugale said Police Station 4 received a call from the Rafael Lazatin Memorial Hospital that a male person was rushed for treatment of a gunshot.

A witness to the said failed robbery positively identified one of the suspects as M. L., 22, resident of Barangay San Nicolas, City of San Fernando.

Police recovered from the suspect during a follow-up operation a .38 caliber revolver Armscor loaded with four bullets and three spent shells.
