As an ordinary civilian employee intrigued by the questions raised by the facts of the current robbery at Greenbelt 5 in Makati, I have questions that deserve an answer on the following:
1. When the robbers enters the mall in fake police uniforms, the car that they were using is a privately owned vehicle, the plate numbers bears the observation that it is privately owned and not an officially marked vehicle of Makati Police Station.
2. The security guards failed to check the contents of the bags of the robbers as well in checking the unmarked vehicle.
3. When asked by the security guards about the long firearms, the robbers explained that they come carrying long firearms because of the reported bomb scare at the mall. What a stupid answer, perhaps the robbers would shoot the bomb.
4. One of the guards should have at least reported the incident to their superior however there is none, the superiors who has a higher level of thinking and education could have prevented the crime if these circumstances were immediately reported to them.
5. As the robbers exiting the mall with their loot, the guards again failed to stop them; perhaps the guards were afraid of the long firearms of the robbers. It took two policemen on civilian clothes, on duty as an agent, exchange shots with the robbers killing one of them on the spot.
The robbers failed to determined the perfect probability of their escape without casualty on their part, the guards on the other hand were in fact inefficient and uneducated of the basic knowledge of the law, The guards could have prevented the crime if they call the Makati Police station on the suspicious acts of the robbers, long firearm, unmarked vehicle and police uniform without I.D is more than a suspicion. If they only performed their duties, the life of the robbers could be preserved whose testimony would have been useful in convicting him and his fellow robbers. What a waste.
