Ketchup Modus on EDSA Bus: Commuters Beware

As kids, we've been schooled by our elders about all the possible commute theft modus that could be thrown at us, unsuspecting commuters.

There's the spit theft modus - where the thief would spit a really huge gross loagie on you, enough icky phlegm on your hair and skin to get you screaming in panic like you were lit on fire. Then before you know it, your wallet's gone, and so is your phone. Same goes for the bubblegum theft modus and now back in vogue again, the Ketchup theft modus.

There's the Ice Pick modus, where they target women on EDSA buses, where the suspect pokes an ice pick from a bag, near the woman's hip and once fear immobilizes the victim, the suspect then starts copping a feel, harassing the victim before robbing her blind.

But making the viral rounds now, a Ketchup modus incident. I applaud the person who posted this, she definitely had the presence of mind not to panic and get herself to safety ASAP.

"I thought I would be safer sa public transport compared to when we were carjacked. Reality check tho nowhere is safe. You take care extra care too my friend!"

To all my commuter friends, I urge you to please be careful and more vigilant. Especially those riding the bus.

Today while I was on the way home riding a bus going to Ayala a guy sat beside me, he looked like a decent man nothing sketchy or anything. He tapped me and informed me that I had something on my clothes. When I checked I indeed had ketchup on my dress and tote bag. Having read a familiar modus like this in facebook I just ignored him and did not bother to wipe it off to avoid opening my bag. He even asked me if I had any tissue or handkerchief in which I replied "wala eh. San kaya galing to ketchup pa. Kuya bat may stain ka sa pantalon and sa kamay mo?" After that he did not reply and looked nervous and on edge. Luckily after I said that, my bus stop was near so I went to the front of the bus. When I got off the bus I did an item check and luckily nothing was taken from me.

Guys please if something happens like this just let it be. Don't open your bag because this is a modus of snatchers using either ketchup or spit to get you off guard & then steal your valuables. Better clean it off once you get to a secure and less crowded area rather than have your things stolen.

Ah, such is the commuting life in Manila :(

9 Year-Old Girl Shot by Road Rage Driver in Brgy Bungad Quezon City

Viral on Facebook now

Insane people driving in Manila, armed and trigger-ready to shoot at a car full of kids. What a sick bastard! Hope he gets caught real soon.



Please share..... Looking for the owner of this WHITE HYUNDAI STA Fe with panoramic top glass / black roof, involved in shooting my 9 yr old daughter...

I am asking for everybody’s help to please spread the word and share this on your page...

On the early hours of December 06, 2013, Thursday 4am, I was about to bring my daughters to their school for their field trip. I was traveling along a narrow road at M.H. Del Pilar st, Brgy Bungad, Quezon City.

When I came across this white Hyundai SUV with its very bright headlight directly blinding my sight. So when the driver of the said SUV and I met side by side, I brought my window down and he did so too... I asked him politely and said...

“Brod, pwede mo namang ibaba” (meaning dim his headlight) he replied arrogantly, “eh, ano ngayon?!”

 I still kept my cool (knowing I have my children at the back) and just commented .. “brad, ang yabang mo naman...” 

Again he arrogantly replied "ang yabang mo din" while driving slowly away.

I slightly drove forward looking on my side view mirror wanting to get a look on his plate. Then we heard 3 gun shots. My wife told me to drive away fearing there would be more shots. A few seconds later, my youngest daughter shouted "ARAY!" then our eldest daughter told us there was blood from her sister. My wife then hugged our youngest daughter and told me to drive to the hospital emergency room.

She was bleeding when we arrived at the ER and was later told by the doctors that she suffered from a through and through gunshot wound.

Her kidney and liver were both damaged from the shot and received blood transfusion during the operation.

Clearly seen are images of the Hyundai car involved. The vehicle is on his way to exit to Roosevelt avenue / Barangay San Antonio.

How can this irresponsible, arrogant person own a gun! I believe guns should be owned to protect life and not to bring harm.

I am now asking everyone to please help us find this guy and let justice rule for what he did to my little girl. She is just an innocent child who just wanted to go on a field trip with her sister and classmates and not knowing that she would end up in the ICU.

If you have any information that could help. Kindly inform us on this number: 0928-1131893

Here's the Photo of the car- If anyone is familiar with it and you have info about the owner call this number 0928-1131893
