Lovers held-up, ordered to make love but escaped
By Hermie B. Tresquio
TWO young lovers were divested of their cell phones when they were held up by eight unidentified men early Tuesday evening along the road leading to the Dumaguete City Jail in Barangay Bajumpandan.
After robbing them, the hold-uppers forced the victims to make love but they managed to escape.
The victims are a 17-year-old female student of Silliman University (name withheld) a resident of Habitat 2 in Bajumpandan, and an 18-year-old resident of Purok Mahigugmaon (name withheld) in Barangay Bagacay.
Police said that before the incident, the two young lovers were riding a Honda Dream motorcycle along Bajumpandan road.
Some 100 meters away from the city jail beside a sodium-lighted electric post, the boy stopped the motorcycle to pee by the dim side of the road.
Suddenly, an unidentified man with a cloth-covered face appeared from the dark holding a knife, pointed it at the girl and announced a hold-up.
At the same time, seven other unidentified men whose faces were masked by pieces of clothes approached the peeing boy and held him at bay.
After divesting the girl of her pink bag that contained two cell phones, P120 cash, a school ID, and ATM card, the hold-uppers ordered the lovers to make love in front of them.
The frightened teenagers however managed to get away and run with the hold-uppers chasing them.
Fortunately for the victims upon reaching another lighted portion of the road, a motorcycle driven by Bernard Glacita, a disc jockey of dyMY-FM, showed up causing the pursuers to back out and to run into the dark.
The victims believe the hold-uppers live in the area.
Meanwhile, police arrested two boys wanted for robbery at the pier area in Barangay Looc ten o'clock Wednesday evening.
The minors, names withheld, aged 17 and 16, and residents of Looc, were nabbed by Senior Police Officer 3 Remegio Biyok and Senior Police Officer 1 Louie Gubac through an arrest order issued by Judge Jennylind Aldecoa-Delorino of Regional Trial Court Banch 37.
The court placed the bail bond at P24,000 for each boy.
