A netizen recently warned the public about knife-wielding men in Tondo, Manila.
A certain Win Velasco tweeted on November 29 that several men attacked and slashed the body of her friend along Cavite Street in Tondo after she refused to give them her contact number.
Win posted photos of her friend’s bloodied body with the caption, “Guys!! Mag-iingat kayo please lang!! Nangyari na sa best friend ko!
“Anim na lalake pinilit siyang magbigay ng number niya dahil ayaw niya ayan ginawa sa kanya. Cavite St. Tondo Manila,” she added.

According to Win, the incident happened at a waiting shed in front of the Lakandula High School.
Win said these men may have done it out of “trip” or they could be members of a syndicate.
Win hoped that the incident was captured on video.
“Sana may CCTV don!!” she wrote in another tweet.
“Baka nagtrip lang o talagang mga sindikato na yung lumapit sa kaibigan ko,” she added.

Win stressed that she shared the photos of her friend to raise awareness and not for any other reason.
“Awareness po ang rine-raise ko! Hindi para ipa-trending yang sugat ng kaibigan ko…,” she noted.

Win’s post has got a lot of netizens worried.
A netizen wrote: “Need pa talaga ng police visibility sa buong maynila, curfew is good pero pulpol kasi mga barangay official kaya walang discipline sa lugar, crack down all tambay at unemployed diyan para may profileling.”

“Grabe talaga mga tao ngayon eh. Kapag ‘di nakukuha yung gusto kung ano anong kashit-an na yung ginagawa. Mag-ingat tayong lahat guys, maging alerto tayo sa paligid natin, lalo na kung mag-isa ka lang,” another netizen commented.
Meanwhile, Win said her friend is now out of danger and is already resting.
“Maraming salamat po. Ayos na po siya sa ngayon, nagpapahinga na po,” she noted.
