Not only in Manila Zoo.
also in Cebu
My mother is bound for Cebu that certain night from Butuan city for her masteral degree, arriving morning at Cebu city around 7:15 AM she went to jolibee to take breakfast... she left her big bag at the corner at the table while she went to the C.R.
after shes done she went back to the table were she left her big bag and found nothing. she asked the ppl who were next to the table and they said"
gi kuha man to ug laki naka brown ug jacket, abi namo kauban nimo?!...english translation: a guy with a brown jacket just grabbed it, i thought he was your companion? "
she run as fast as she could and search the surrounding area... but it was too late... the burglar ran away with all her papers and clothing, lucky she brought her purse in the C.R.
she called home crying

....
and arrived home angry saying VERY DEEP BAD WORDS
