A Rob Story

It was Wednesday, around 12:30am. I was riding a jeepney, on my way home from work. As the jeep I was on approached N. Bacalso Avenue from Panganiban Street (that corner near the Cebu City Fire Station and the Cebu City Medical Center), I and my co-passengers witnessed what could have been a taxi robbery of some kind.

Mr. Man in Red, wearing a polo which looked like his duty uniform and most presumably the taxi driver, was spotted on the road yelling for help. I’m assuming that some guy from inside his taxi asked him to get off the vehicle just moments before, since he was still near the driver’s side door of the car. He seemed quite rattled and didn’t exactly know what to do.
