On Friday night, my friends were traversing Colon Street’s night market with our bags close to our chests, clutching our iPhones strongly in our hands. My reporter-friend from another Cebu media outlet, whose career started in the police beat, told me to use my Android phone when calling a friend because if it got snatched, it wouldn’t be as painful to lose. Later on that dawn, we discussed how times have changed since President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
Even I have started to feel scared walking the streets in the early evening for fear that I might find myself in a dangerous situation. I have recently seen a fellow passenger lose their phone on a snatching along Natalio Bacalso Avenue. “In Duterte’s era, there were so many unjustified killings,” I told my friends. “But ironically, it also, at some point, made us feel safe.”We agreed that the fear Duterte instilled in criminals forced the outlaws into their holes.
