The Philippine economy sure is booming — even robbers believe they can get cash or property from just aboput anyone whenever they want. Some of them wait near footbridges to get what they want.

Jerby Calisaan and Cesar Concepcion were arrested after they seen robbing two unsuspecting pedestrians near a footbridge in Monumento.

Based on the CCTV footage, Caloocan City Police identified Calisaan and Concepcion as the ones who accosted pedestrians in two separate incidents — one on Jun 25 and the other on Jun 29.

When they were arrested, Calisaan casually reasoned, “Naghahanap po kami ng pamasahe para makauwi ng Pangasinan (We needed money for our fare to go back to Pangasinan).”

However, seeing Calisaan and Concepcion in the act, it definitely doesn’t seem like this is their first time robbing people. Just check out their smooth moves as they overpower and intimidate their victims. —from a TV Patrol report
