Commuters warnings

I've just read some story or a blog/note in facebook which was shared by one of my contacts in facebook.
It something that's scary but it's real..
Usong uso kasi to sa pinas. Ewan ko ba.. 
ganito ata talaga kadesperado mga tao dito at parang ang dali dali lng kunin ang buhay ng iba

note:

Hindi ako makapaniwalang may mga tao talagang handang pumatay para lang makuha yung mga materyal na bagay na gusto nila o siguro dala na ng desperasyon kung paano makakatawid ng gutom.

Kwinento sakin ‘to nung kaibigan ko kanina:

Papunta sila ng kaibigan niya sa CEU kahapon para sunduin yung isa pa nilang kaibigan. Sumakay sila ng jeep sa may bandang Ortigas. Pagsakay nila, konti lang yung mga pasaherong nakasakay. Mag-jowang magkayakap, isang matandang babae, sila, tapos yung driver. Sa may bandang likod sila nakaupo. Yung mag-jowa yung nasa may bandang unahan ng jeep. Nakasandal si ate kay kuya na parang natutulog tapos si kuya nakayakap kay ate. Yung matandang babae naman nasa may bandang gitna. Inaabot na nung kaibigan ko yung bayad niya dun sa lalaki pero hindi siya pinapansin kaya yung matandang babae na lang yung nagabot ng bayad. Yung matandang babae din yung nagabot ng sukli sa kanila. Napansin na din nila nung mga oras na yun na ang sama ng tingin ng driver sa kanila. So medyo nagtataka na din sila. Mayamaya, biglang sinabi sa kanila nung matandang babae na bumaba na sila. So lalo silang naguluhan kung saan mas matatakot. Sa manong driver na masama yung tingin o sa aleng bigla na lang nagyayayang bumaba ng jeep. Hindi na din sila nagisip tapos bumaba na sila ng jeep. Pagkababa nila ng jeep, sinabi sa kanila nung matandang babae kung bakit. Buti na lang daw hindi sila nagtanong kung bakit. Sabi nung matandang babae patay na daw yung babaeng nasa jeep. Hindi daw mag-jowa yung dalawa. Kaya nakasandal si ate kay kuya tsaka nakayakap si kuya kay ate kasi may nakasaksak kay ate na ice pick. Kaya hindi din inaabot ni kuya yung bayad. Napansin din daw ni ale na medyo nangingitim na yung bandang leeg ni ate. Kaya din daw siguro masama yung tingin ni manong driver sa kanila kasi baka binabalaan na din silang bumaba.

Nakakatakot lang kung iisipin mong isa ka sa mga nakasakay sa jeep na yun. Sobrang nakakatakot. Sa panahon ngayon, hindi ka na talaga makakasigurado kung sino yung mapagkakatiwalaan mo tsaka kung hanggang kelan na lang yung buhay mo. Nakakatakot na, lalo na kapag gabi.

Kaya paalala lang sa mga madalas bumyahe sa gabi, mag-ingat. Hangga’t maaari, maghanap ng kasama. Tsaka wag kalimutang magdasal. Hindi mo man akalain pero malaki ang impact niyan.

Ingat!

Got this from a friend, Carlo. Shinare ko lang rin. :|

Here's the link from facebook:

It's a scene from a public jeepney... there were only few people on the ride..
Then what we might expect as a sweet scene isn't true.
The girl's dead.. she was stabbed by an icepick.
Or is that girl really her girlfriend? I doubt it.. perhaps the guy just stick with the girl or something..
Or perhaps she's really the girlfriend..
And come to think of it, when does he plan to come down the jeepney???
Or will he stab everyone else on that ride? WTF!!
Come on! Please use this tool according to its function!

Just 2 days ago, the radio announcer we were listening to just said that one woman was also a victim of this
robbers.. they were about to stab her also with an icepick. Good thing was that the woman was with a man (probably a friend). The man threw a cellphone away from them and those robbers went after the phone instead of the woman.

These are stories I definitely don't want to hear. But it happens..
For some reason we must accept it really does..
That's one way where we can start thinking of possible ways to resolve these issues
or find ways to avoid it from happening..

* if possible, avoid coming home late..
* if we are to come home late, find some companion on our way home.. or to anywhere our destination is
* always be ready.. act smart! not stupid!
* bring stuffs which can protect us on scenes like this.. ballpen, scissors.. etc
* pray to God.. :)
