How to avoid hold-ups on PUVs - Philippines


A thing that caught my attention is the increasing incident of robbery. While Christmas vacation was near, many were trying their best to gain money either the nice way or the hard way. But for those who have their dark sides, the easiest way seems to be the best way.


So what happened actually?

There was just this unregistered vehicle which imitates those PUVs (Public Utility Vehicles) to gather passengers at night and when the people or the timing was right will declare hold-up to those who were inside to gain valuable goods or money.

The suspects doesn’t only include some passengers but also the driver was a partner in crime.

How to avoid them?

·         Make sure that you are riding legitimate and registered vehicles only.
·         Registered PUVs wear yellow plate number
·         Doesn’t use heavy tinted mirrors
·         UV Express has a printed sign on the body indicating that it was a legitimate

The love for knowledge and awareness doesn’t hurt. It is the only thing standing between tragedy and ourselves so we should regularly update ourselves with the latest strategies to help us during certain situations.

Aside from all of the information shared to you by anyone. The primary attitude that we should observe all the time is to be vigilant.

Be safe, be observant, and be vigilant.

May we all have a blessed year!
