May 2: Police stories on the roll

The usual day for a reporter is always about writing police/crime stories.

When I first tried it two years ago, I found this challenging. But now my J 101 and J 102 lessons really come in handy.

The two articles I submitted today:

Story 1:

A dispute over a rowdy drinking session left a man in critical condition, another wounded, after a hacking incident in Pasig.

Ronald Bopos, 22, and Jason Galanido, 21, were reportedly hacked by a samurai sword in Galanido's residence at Phase 2, Ilugin, Brgy. Pinagbuhatan around 10 PM, Wednesday. Galanido was hurt after trying to shield the samurai aimed at Gopos, who is still in danger after acquiring severe wounds.

The suspects were identified as 32 year-old Jing Hermocilla and his brother-in-law, Sixto Dorado, who were neighbors of the victims.

Local investigators reported that an argument that lead to the incident ensued when the suspects where irked by the noise of the drinking buddies.

The police are yet to identify which of the two suspects hacked Gopos, as both of them denied doing the act.

Story 2:
An old woman lost her cash worth P7,000 to alleged members of budol-budol gang in Pasig, Wednesday morning.

Emelita Loyola, resident of Parkwood Village in Maybunga, Pasig, reported to the police that she was approached by an unindentified female while waiting for a passenger jeep in Pasig Public Market.

The female convinced the victim to ride in a Toyota Innova with one male and six other females on-board, drove to her house, and instructed her to get the money.

The suspects drove Loyola back to the public market, where they gave her a black clutch bag containing “pieces of cash” and left. It was only after a few hours that the victim discovered the bag's contents were only paper.

Local police are now investigating on the incident.
