INGAT AVENUE

Robber shoots lady who refused to give up laptop
08/06/2008 | 08:56 AM
 
MANILA, Philippines - A 23-year-old woman is now in critical condition after being shot in the head early Wednesday morning after she attempted to wrestle her laptop away from a thief in Cainta, Rizal.

A report by radio dzBB’s Sam Nielsen said the unidentified thief used a .38 caliber pistol to shoot the victim identified by the Cainta police as Dara Santeneces of Brookside Subdivision in Cainta town.

Santences’ companion Joyce Mejias, who was riding the Marikina-bound jeepney with the victim at the time of the incident, said the suspect declared a holdup while the jeepney was moving along Felix Ave. in Cainta.

But when the victim tried to wrestle back her bag containing a laptop, the assailant immediately shot her, took some of the passengers’ bags and immediately fled the scene.

Tara is the guitarist of a band called Saffron Speedway. She is now (I heard) in Medical City and is fighting for her life. Our gig series called INGAT AVENUE will be a fund raising to assist her family's medical expenses. Road safety includes being careful and alert when we commute. It ALSO means while we weigh and prioritize our safety, we should HELP someone who is in trouble. It can be through shouting out loud, (this always startles them) call for help, stay alert and yes, someone once shared a story that he threw a shoe, a book, and his glasses at the robber to drive him away. That way, he kept his distance from the robber's knife point but still managed to assault him enough to let him stop his deed. Shout! Forget poise and shit like that. Scream! Throw something. Yes, watching out for others allow other people to watch over us, too. And safety of people and property is INGAT AVENUE's campaign.

Safety of people and property. (In THAT order.)

These things shouldn't happen. And we must do what we can to promote an attitude and a culture that will give thieves a difficult time being thieves.

Magbantayan tayo. Maski mga hindi natin kakilala.

Please come to the INGAT AVENUE gigs. (August 14 - Route 196// August 16 - Mogwai Cubao X// September 4 - Saguijo)

We will collect donations for Tara's medical expenses. And yes, let's talk about keeping safe --be it as a driver, pedestrian or commuter.

Watch!

Silence before the SONA

Enjoy the silence, before the SONA.

After every State of the Nation Address, there's a flurry of opinion articles, reactions, trails of bullshit brush strokes all over the white walls of where we sit and read our news.

So. This Sunday Silence is dedicated to the calms before storms. The huddle before the attack. If any.

Bago mag SONA, subukan mo lang.

This Sunday Silence is organized by the Manila Doctors College- Laurels Society

X-Files 2 Trailer

Because I'm a veritable X-Files addict.
