MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATE) Police on Friday warned the public against crimes committed in the areas of Taguig and Parañaque, especially those carried out on commuters.
The warning was issued following the arrest Thursday night of three suspects who were said to be victimizing jeepney passengers between the East Service Road in Parañaque City and SM Bicutan in Taguig City.
A memorandum by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Camp Crame showed that crime incidents were particularly high in the area during rush hours.
The three were arrested 7:30 p.m. Thursday while police were patrolling the area, reports from the CIDG showed. Senior Inspector Melecio Mina spotted a suspicious person with a gun alighting from one of the jeepneys on the East Service Road.
But when Mina approached, the man tried to run, but was blocked by another policeman near the area. As police chased the lone suspect, two others attacked police.
Police, however, were able to arrest the three, who were later identified as Felix Berida, Marlon Montellano, and Rolly Magbutay.
They will be charged with illegal possession of firearms and bladed weapon.
Meanwhile, police have vowed an intensified campaign against street crimes, particularly those attacking commuters.

MANILA, Philippines – A lawyer-host of Global News Network (GNN) was stabbed dead in his office in Muntinlupa City on Wednesday night.
Police said Don James Mendoza sustained multiple stab wounds and was declared dead at the Muntinlupa Medical Center.
His mother, who was with him at the time of the crime, was also beaten and hogtied by the assailants, Senior Superintendent Romeo Sapitula, Muntinlupa City police chief, told The STAR.
Chief Inspector Jenny Tecson, spokesperson of Southern Police District, said two unidentified men attacked Mendoza at the Doña Amparo building along the National Road in Barangay Putatan at around 6:20 p.m. The building has no security guards, according to Sapitula.
Sapitula said the attackers could be “hired killers” and the killing might be due to the “sensitive cases that Mendoza was handling.”
Mendoza co-hosted GNN’s Pisobolities show with financial expert Armand Bengco for Destiny Cable subscribers. His remains lie at the Trinity Funeral Homes in Sucat, Parañaque, Bengco said.

Ayala Alabang villager sounds off on “terrible” Maynilad service
Filed Under Muntinlupa, Sumbungan! | Leave a Comment
An Ayala Alabang villager contacted us so we could write about the water situation inside their village after the takeover of Maynilad from Ayala Waterworks.
Here’s what the villager had to say:
It’s about how Maynilad’s services have been terrible the past few months. Hope it’s ok to send it to you through here.
Anyways, here it is:
In the past, what I could boast to others about living in AAV was one or more of the following:
1. Great barangay & association services
2. Good roads
3. Humps that don’t give your car a hard time
4. Good security
5. Potable tap water
While #s 1-4 has been fairly consistent over the last 30 years of my residence in AAV, #5 has not, ever since Maynilad’s takeover from Ayala Waterworks.
For starters, Ayala Waterworks’ services are proactive. They notify homeowners of anything that will affect them. “Anything” covers:
1. Decrease in water pressure
2. Possible change in water characteristics (odor, color, etc)
3. Outages
4. Repairs
5. ANYTHING!!!
Maynilad, on the other hand, does not, despite the following things that have happened in the past few months:
1. Decrease in water pressure
2. Changes in water odor and color
3. Outages
4. Repairs
5. Gasp….EVERYTHING!
(To give credit to Maynilad, they did send us a notice when they intended to hike their rates. Like that’s something we wanted to hear)
Now, our tap water:
1. Changes water pressure unpredictably
2. Smells and tastes like soil and chlorine (undrinkable!)
But what can an ordinary homeowner do, but to call customer service and file a complaint? Their customer service is real accommodating and I really felt that I was being listened to; but the results speak for themselves… their customer service is nothing but lip service.
Ayala Waterworks, on the other hand, fixes problems. What’s better is that they give us timelines on when they will fix the problems, and they usually finish fixing the problems way ahead of the timeline that they give out. Because of this proactive behavior,there is no need for a customer service hotline for Ayala Waterworks.
Maynilad could learn a thing (or two… hundred) from Ayala Waterworks about servicing a place like Ayala Alabang.
Paging Maynilad…
