Manila
vacation costly for teacher
A teacher's Christmas vacation in Manila proved to be doubly costly after she returned to her San Miguel residence and found it divested of an attache case containing precious jewelry.
Public school mentor Leonida Lizaso told police authorities that she closed her house, left it unoccupied and departed for Manila last December 23, 2000 for a much-needed Christmas vacation.
Around midnight of Dec. 26, neighbors saw two unidentified, half-naked suspects acting suspiciously at the vicinity of the Lizaso house but the witnesses did not do anything for fear that something might happen to them. They described the men as about 5'4" in height, wearing short pants, and with masks hiding their faces.
When Lizaso returned at noon of January 3, 2001, she discovered that she had been robbed, with the suspects apparently making off with an attache case which she said contained jewelry and important documents.
Probers say the suspects broke the padlock on an underground door and entered the house but the robbers did not take any other valuables, showing that they were after the jewelry in the attache case. Lizaso could not determine the value of the lost items.
In a related development, a convent at the Risen Christ chapel in Virac was robbed last week, with its occupants still unaware of what happened.
Rev. Fr. Joel Aguilar, who is in charge of the chapel located inside the CSC compound, told police that at about 5 P.M. of Jan. 2, 2001, they discovered that the MCST convent inside chapel was entered by unidentified culprits who removed seven glass blades of a jalousie window. The items taken by the suspect has yet to be determined as the occupants have not arrived from their Yuletide vacation.
