One Ayala pickpocket???

Hello! Just wanted to share my bf and I’s experience earlier today in One Ayala.

We were slowly walking towards Abenson when I noticed 2 people (1 guy wearing a mask and 1 girl) being TOO close behind us. As in touching my bf’s bag already (para bang bubuksan na niya yung pockets). Maluwag naman yung daan and yet they were suspiciously too close. So when I saw the guy too near and almost touching (I think hawak na niya) my bf’s bag, I panicked and I said “HUY!” with a firm and slightly loud voice. Nagulat yung dalawa and immediately walked beside us saying nagulat din daw tuloy sila tapos walked papalayo going down the escalator. I didn’t really know how to react so sabi ko nalang “sorry, dahil sa kape ‘to” LOL. Baka masabihan akong assumera.

But I swear sobrang suspiciously too close talaga. Has anyone experienced this before? Just want to be sure just in case tama hinala ko.

But regardless, please please put your bags in front of you especially when you’re walking in crowded places and put your valuable belongings somewhere extra safe where only you can access. Better safe than sorry.
