Theft
Last year, on the last Sunday in January, my cousin and I attended the Guimbawan
Festival in Batuan. As we were taking part in the event, the crowd suddenly went wild
when someone yelled that someone had stolen his phone after he had lost it. A police
officer was dispatched right away to look into what had happened. Thus, it is regarded
as theft.
When in crowds, be on the lookout for pickpockets and avoid keeping valuables
in outside pockets. Keep your valuables out of your rucksack and into a bumbag
or money belt.
Don't ever leave expensive items inside your tent when you're not using it. To
steal items that are readily available, thieves will occasionally cut holes in tents or
unzip them. Storing valuables in the bottom of your sleeping bag while sleeping
is a good idea.
Try to stay away from carrying around a lot of cash and instead use the ATMs
there or ask ahead of time if merchants accept credit cards.
Article 293 of the Revised Penal Code defines robbery as a crime committed by "any
person who, with intent to gain, shall take any personal property belonging to another,
by means of violence against or intimidation of any person, or using force upon
anything."
Antisocial Behaviour & Violence
In May of last year, we had a fiesta in our community. As we were eating and singing
along to a videoke, someone unexpectedly interrupted us because he was intoxicated
and drunk. We quickly make contact with the barangay tanods so that he can be
apprehended.
Perceptions can be warped, inhibitions can be lowered, and minor conflicts can
occasionally turn into major ones wherever there are large gatherings of intoxicated
people.
* Refrain from getting involved if you see trouble developing. It is better to prevent a
problem than to try to fix one after the fact, so search for a security guard and report it.
* Take into account how your actions might be perceived by others, and be aware that
things can be misconstrued when people are intoxicated.
*Call the council's reception and ask to speak to the staff who deal with anti-social
behaviour complaints, and; the police. If you think a crime has been committed you
should report this to the police.
