Mall theft, shoplifters in the Philippines mall has been a long time problem. They always come up with a different techniques once their operation got exposed. The syndicate operates in groups to cover up the designated thief. They are all over the mall looking for the possible victim, and once given a chance, just by eye contact and body language, they will all move in just a matter of seconds. And get away with the victim as quick as possible like any other normal shoppers while passing the loot to another member in case somebody is after them.
1st photo: the syndicate, keeping an eye to the chosen victim, watching for the right time, which is when the store crew turned her back to get the order ready.
2nd photo: The man in black shirt, probably the leader of the gang, pointing the woman where to stand as a look out and at the same time serves as a shield to the costumers from the next store.
3rd photo: Shows the five members doing the assigned job. The woman with tray serves as a distraction to both the store crew and the victim while the designated thief is doing his job.
Thieves are are always on the look out for your hard-earned cash, gadgets and credit cards. It is not wise to bring your valuables in a small bag wherever you go. Hold your bag always, put it on your lap and not behind you. Do not leave it on another chair or on top of the counter while paying. Most important of all is to keep an eye on it at all times. Thieves will do anything to get your attention. So always be alert and aware of the people in the surroundings.
He is known to many as Manny, who was in CDO for the PCCP convention. He was one of the three victims who was seated at a table where the bomb was allegedly placed, contained in a bag and killed them on the spot during the blast. Three other victims were also killed that night and two more died at the hospital, Monday. Manny works for the pharmaceutical company, Sandoz as the Company District Manager. Sandoz is the subsidiary of the global pharmaceutical leader Novartis, in the Philippines. To accept his death is very difficult for the family. He was only 35. His wife, Heteluv, is left with their two little girls to care, who are yet in grade school.
To his brothers, Atty. Jules Christian Marcos and Jerico Marcos, his death was "senseless". Manny is the youngest of three boys raised alone by their mother, Fatima. As the family lawyer and spokesperson, Atty. Jules expressed the plans of filing a case against those behind the bombing and also, against the police and the rest of those involved in the clean-up of the crime scene in CDO. Evidence that could have helped strengthen the case once they identify the bomber becomes weak because the place was cleaned-up before the investigation.

An innocent life was lost, and a family bereaved. Atty. Jules says that if the bombing has any political agenda, they should have expressed their grievances in other ways that do not claim lives of innocent people just like Manny who was only there at the call of duty. He works hard to support his family.
The initial schedule of the burial is on Friday, awaiting the arrival of Manny's mother and brother, Jerico from Davao City.

Manny is a
resident of Zamboanga City, whose wife, Heteluv and two adorable children (both
girls), excitedly awaits his return from every travel. Today, he will come home
in a casket that brings profound sorrow to his wife, children and the rest of
the family. His mother, Fatima Desierto Palafox, whose roots are from Ipil, Zamboanga
del Sur, and brother Jerico, grieve from Davao and scheduled to come home for
the burial; while his other brother, Atty. Jules Christian Marcos takes care of
all the necessary funeral arrangements from home. He was fondly called Tata in
the family, who had been one of the world’s most wonderful husband and father.
The bomber
used an improvised explosive device that also injured 48 others. There is no tolerance
for this violence in a supposedly peaceful community of CDO. From a grieving
family, there can be no justification in taking away a father who works hard to
put his children in school and bring home food to the table. To his wife, he
was the world she knew. He was a good son to his mother who regularly visits on
Sundays after attending mass and a loving brother to his siblings and cousins.
Emmanuel Desierto Palafox, hasta la vista. Rest in peace with the Lord, kuya Tata.
