when running around or going places in manila it is so crowded. our streets like in makati, ayala avenue, alabang or muntinlupa is crowded with so much people. you have to be very careful walking in the streets here. i remember one time talking in a big crowd with traffic and a motorcycle bumped my side but luck i did not get any bleeding or injuries, but the guy who accidentally hit me just left without saying nothing which got me angry. it is very busy here in this city also not so safe being out at night and i remember one time getting my cell phone snatched from two guys it was just bad. is it like this in your city?

Then you should avoid talking at big crowds with traffic from now on. So that nothing necessary like being bumped by a motorcylce would happen again.
I guess your at the very urban part of Manila, getting your phone snatched by two guys as you relate an experience in your post..

i just go on with my business, it's not my fault i got bumped into and you know it's common here getting phones snatched, i saw you're from manila also - so yeah it was not a good experience to begin with. i was in the sidewalk when that happen when talking to my friends, the guy just went on the side and i wasn't even near the street.

Now that you clarified your account on being bumped by a motorcyclist at the side-walk, though he or she must've mentioned "sorry" just loud enough for her/himself to hear, me and my friends wouldn't let that pass just like that. We'd get him or her to publicly apologize for bumping you.
Well, the crime rate has just rose recently, means we should be more cautious than we use to..

Harsh realities living in the city huh... Well I guess we live in the same place and so far for the past several years that went by I am lucky not to experience what you have told us. I do believe that its something that you have to be careful while living in here. I hope you wouldn't experience those things again.
