My neighbor's wallet snatched

My neighbor came to me yesterday. She's crying because her wallet snatched in LRT yesterday. They rode the train from Bambang Station to Pedro Gil Station. They were still on the train near to Pedro Gil Station when she noticed that her pocket is already lossen and found her wallet stolen already. She was with her big man son when 3 young adults women dressed nicely rounded them inside the train. She said she didn't felt anything but only noticed lately why those ladies so closed to her and his son unnecessarily specially when the train stops in every stations. She suspected and checked pocket but she found out her wallet with three thousand pesos gone. They just came from San Lazaro Hospital for the vaccination for anti rabies of her son. She spent 700 pesos each injection and the money left in her wallet is for electrict bill payment and fare only but unfortunately it was all gone. That is the only money she had. It was good her son has 100 pesos in his wallet so they can able to reach their relatives to owe money for their electric bill. Also yesterday, one house of a congressman in Wack Wack Village was robbed and money , jewelries and expensive belongings was sucked off. And last Sunday a Jewelry store inside Glorieta is also robbed. Those are only an iceberg of so many robbery and snatching stories happens everyday now here in Metro Manila specially now that Christmas is fast approaching. These is the time that Filipino people received their 13th month pays and bunoses and took immediately the chance to shop for Christmas decorations, Christmass gifts and other stuffs for Christmas. This is how Filipino traditionally celebrate Christmas to make this occasion happier and merrier and of course the spiritual is already within the heart of everyone but this anti -good people (i hate to say evil) do bad instead of peace but it is an opposite. But still hopeful that Jesus is still in the heart of so many people despite of some incidence of robbery , thefts, and calamities. God is so good.
