BACKPACKS. Some foreign (American, Korean, Japanese, African) students in Metro Manila wear or carry their backpacks as frontpacks in order to protect what are in the packs from slashers and what they call "pickpackers."

CHANGE. One student said the change in style of carrying backpacks came about after many students have reported to the police that they have been victimized by slashers.
