ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / Oct. 8, 2008) – A Japanese national on Wednesday complained to the Philippine police that he lost his wallet and a cellular phone to thieves in Zamboanga City, officials said.
Toshio Nikishita, 37, told police that he lost about P 8,000 in cash and the phone. He said two men bumped him from behind, but ignored them only to discover later that his wallet and phone were gone from his pockets.
Nikishita said the incident occurred at around 12.30 p.m. near the City Hall. He said he was a frequent visitor and had been coming to Zamboanga the past three years. He did not say where he lives in Japan, but Nikishita was apparently disgusted over the incident.
Pickpockets and thieves have victimized many people in downtown, mostly shoppers and students, and in some cases stabbed those who tried to fight off the criminals. (Erico Rosco)
