CEBU, Philippines - One of two robbers stabbed a student of Cebu Doctors' University at the Reclamation Area in barangay Subangdaku, Mandaue City who is taking up radio technology for refusing to part with his cellular phone.
Mario Chan, 18, of San Carlos, Negros Occidental, who is taking up radio technology, said that at around 11:30 a.m. the other day, he went out of the school premises to have a report photocopied at a nearby store.

While walking along Larrazabal Street, two men on an XRM motorcycle with no plate number appeared.
