Anamie Livrando known as “The Poison Ivy” escaped from Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) in Muntinlupa City by scaling the perimeter wall for the second time on November 19, 2011. The suspect, who posed as a housemaid, is responsible for poisoning and robbing 10 Chinese Filipino families. Her modus is to pose as a housemaid looking for a job. Once hired, she would feed household members with food laced with poisonous substances, then rob her employers of cash and valuables. At times, when the suspect cannot find a suitable employer, she will befriend security guards and beg them to recommend her to people looking for a housemaid.

Brief History of Arrests
On August 22, 2008, Manila police arrested the suspect in her hideout in Duhat Street, Project 7, Quezon City. She escaped in Manila City Jail by passing through a hole inside her detention cell on February 28, 2009.

On April 7, 2011, Quezon City police arrested a housemaid named Shanly Denega for qualified theft filed by her recent employer from Quezon City. It turned out the apprehended suspect was Anamie Livrando, known as Poison Ivy. She was convicted and detained for multiple frustrated homicide and robbery in CIW until her escape last Saturday.

Kurukuro believes that Anamie Livrando established friends and cohorts inside the Women’s City Jail. Friendship and connivance among jail detainees and a few jail guards are being considered as the main reason of her successful escape.

Akyat Bahay Gang Levels Up

Some impoverished Filipinos resort to illegal activity just to alleviate their families’ hardships. The Philippines was recently hit by typhoon Quiel directly affecting thousands of people and driving those more into poverty particularly in Bulacan, Pampanga and Tarlac Provinces. The combined impact of the storm, high unemployment rate, increasing prices of basic commodities and the much awaited Christmas season drive people to commit a crime. They are left with no choice especially if family members go hungry and sick.

Home burglaries are not random.  Criminal elements like Akyat Bahay Gang usually put one community or building under surveillance for some time to find vulnerable homes. These criminals return while most residents are at work, in school or sound asleep. Akyat Bahay Gang members gain access inside a victim’s house by breaking into the sliding doors, windows and aircon duct. Nowadays, the group’s schemes have evolved, improved and gone bolder.
A house/ condo unit is considered vulnerable when:

• The whole family members are following a single routine wherein homeowners go to the office while kids go to school and go home the same time every day. Domestic helpers are the only ones left the whole day.
• The homeowner is always out. Frequent trips out of the country can be monitored by a tipster.
• All female residents can be magnets to robbery syndicates.
• Most residents are senior citizens with only domestic helpers to assist them.

Recently, Kurukuro has received emails, text messages and Facebook (FB)  notices about a group of unidentified male suspects using spiked perfume samples in the parking lot to render victims unconscious then rob them of their personal belongings. Kurukuro has been monitoring all newspapers and news coverage to check if there are incidents similar to this case. Fortunately, no cases similar to this were reported. However, the Kurukuro administrator encountered one attempted carjacking/robbery incident wherein two male suspects used a drug spiked syringe to knock out a female victim and run off with her car and belongings in San Rafael, Bulacan Province.

On September 1, 2011, an unidentified man attempted to carjack the Toyota Fortuner of a female physician after she parked her car inside a compound of her clinic in San Rafael, Bulacan Province. The victim had come out of her car when the suspect approached and hit her leg with a sharp object wrapped in a newspaper. The victim immediately shouted for help before she passed out which prompted the suspect to escape. The shout for help was heard by the clinic’s utility worker and run after the suspect. Bystanders apprehended the fleeing suspect. The utility worker recovered a sweat shirt, belt, a blue bonnet and a syringe with needle cap wrapped in a newspaper thrown by the suspect in a drainage canal. During interrogation, the suspect admitted that he was asked by an unidentified mastermind to inject a chemical substance to the female victim so they can forcibly take her valuables and car.

When A Child Disappears

When a child disappears, where did they go? Who took them? Will the parents get them back? These are the questions lingering in parents’ minds. In the past months, reports of missing/ abducted children have been reported.

On August 29, unidentified suspects abducted two girls, aged five and seven, while playing near their home in Malibay, Pasay City. Parents remain clueless about their abduction due to absence of ransom demand. After five days, the abductors called the victims’ parents and demanded for PhP 10,000 (US$ 233) for the victims’ immediate release. The parents sought police assistance and an entrapment was set up to apprehend those behind the abduction. On September 3, the parents agreed to pay the ransom and arranged for pay off with police assistance. Both girls were found unharmed inside a fast food restaurant located along P. Ocampo Street, Pasay City. According to the victims, the suspects forced them to beg on the streets under the close monitoring of their abductors. At the end of the day, the suspects would collect money from them and would be locked up inside a room.  The victims could no longer recall where they were brought to beg. No suspects were arrested.

Beggar Kids: To Give or Not To Give

Drawing of a happy normal kid. Hoping every kid should be given a chance to draw and not beg on the streets.

Crime does exist everywhere so is in Ermita, Manila and Roxas Boulevard particularly near the US Embassy premises. Kurukuro noticed the frequency of crimes in these areas over the past few months. Robbery aided by beggars mentioned below do not depict a cause for alarm but instead should take necessary precaution when visiting these areas. Minor thieves proliferate in the area under the supervision of adults who belonged to robbery syndicates.
