Pawnshop in Metropoint Mall of Pasay City Robbed last Thursday

Tweet

As I already went home with my usual transportation routine such as jeep MRT tricycle last Thursday I have no idea what was going on there especially when I passed by the MRT Taft Ave. station wherein it was beside the Metropoint Mall in Pasay. My Aunt asked me if I came there then she was shocked that I've been there, asking me if there were many people. That is the time she told me about what happened that there was robbery inside the mall that targets the Tambunting pawnshop. Again I have no idea that it happened. Good thing it was 3:00 pm when that crime happened so it means that I was still in the office during that time. Honestly that mall is our accessibility in everyday life because of being connected to the stations of MRT and LRT. Though my sister in law was able to witness while she was outside the mall riding a jeep but still experienced the panic because she thought there was a bomb threat seeing people are coming outside from the mall. As the witnesses claimed that they were able to escaped while people are stepping out of the exit towards LRT station then some of them are even changing clothes. Some are claiming that they even ride the taxi. Stampede happened and there was one woman who got her wounds on her forehead while the stampede is going on. On the brighter side since their intention is just to steal money or any valuable things no one was killed and became victim of this crime. Though I am still questioning the security that how come it wasn't detected that somebody are already bringing the fire arms. Nevertheless everybody was safe during that time. I am still thankful enough that at least the suspects has no intentions to kill anyone unlike what happened to the shooting in USA that without any reason they just want to kill other people which is I think that is more scary. Though when I've heard the news on site it was indicated that it was the 3rd time that the Metropoint had been targeted by the suspects of robbery. All I can think now is to ask God's protection from all harms.
