I'm being impolite jumping in late on in this thread, sorry to hear this happened to Rizza Northerner it is a traumatic experience wherever one is the world. :(
I've never seen a daylight robbery in the Phils but I know they happen.
Worst thing we have been involved in was a possible kidnap threat but the worst thing that's happened to Ana was being about to walk out the door of the building that hosted the old Korean Embassy in Manila just on the corner of Jupiter Street in Makati.
As she walked out the door a gun battle started as armed robbers shot and killed the driver of a van that contained a company payroll.
Full Balaclava and Armalite style attack I think a couple of bystanders were killed that day too :(
She was an emotional wreck for a week or two after that :(
