Too be honest, that is how you can almost get shot. A lot of snatchers and pickpockets work in teams, with several guys watching the back of the key 'crim'. If it looks like he is going to get busted, or he catches a knuckle sandwich, they will jump in with fists, knives, or worse, to get their buddy away free.
Again, no reason to worry, for I lived there ten years, got drunk as a rattle snake on many occasions, deliberatly went to scary places, and never got mugged or robbed.
You're probably safer in Manila than in London! I've certainly walked the streets of Manila at 4am on many occasions, barely comatose, staggering like a good 'un, with no hassles
