Ladies, beware.
“At around 8pm last Friday, April 25, Atty. Jennifer Papio and her friend, Kristine May Rayala, boarded a white taxi cab around. on EDSA near the VV Soliven building,” reports Kristine Felisse Mangunay in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
A few minutes after Papio and Rayala got into the cab, three men also hailed the cab while it was still on EDSA and was allowed by the driver to get in. One of the men took the front passenger seat, while the other two took the back seat, trapping the women in between them.
The men reportedly “punched the women when the latter tried to fight back.” The robbers then took from the victims were P7,000 in cash, an iPad tablet, two mobile phones, their gold earrings, and a 19-karat diamond ring and a wedding that belonged to Rayala.
The women were released also along EDSA after an hour.
