Cynthia Patag Thwarts Condo Burglary Attempt, Finds Solace in Facebook Fans Amidst Borderline Trauma
Legendary Cynthia Patag of Palibhasa Lalake fame successfully foiled a burglary attempt at her condo Thursday night when she heard someone trying to open her locked door.
"Thank God, it was during a TV commercial break. I normally turn down the volume! Because that's when I heard the clicking of one of my door locks," she posted on her Facebook page.
The burglar probably scampered upon realizing that his supposedly unsuspecting victim had become aware of his nefarious presence.
To serve as warning to those who are also living in condos, Cynthia bravely disclosed the modus operandi of these crooks, "Security is very tight in this condo bldg; the location alone warrants it. Heard criminal syndicates have moved from subdivisions to condo bldgs. Modus operandi: buy/rent a unit, 3-month surveillance, hit units on various floors. Mission accomplished, unit is sold to a ready buyer." Tsk. tsk. Bad, bad people.
Surviving this bordeline-traumatic incident, Cynthia turned to Facebook and found solace in concerned messages and comments for her ever loyal fans - whom she calls "Palangganas" (perhaps a derivative of Cebuano term 'Pangga' meaning 'Beloved"). Here are a few of their concerned notes:
... to which Miss Cynthia Patag gratefully responds, "[...] Salamat gid for your advise and prayers, Palangganas."
Really, that was close. I'm glad she's alright.
