Somewhere across the Atlantic, there is a movement brewing. Where our singers are making waves in TV shows abroad, our couture designers are being worn by top model-smizer Tyra Banks, our boxers are becoming the kings of the ring, and our cuisine is being recognized as the next big thing, there is a group of street wear designers who have been constantly hustlin’ and doin’ their thing — putting their own stamp on clothing labels whose hem and haw trace back to the motherland.

For all those rosy reports about a falling crime crate, the public can only be alarmed by recent events. A band of thugs raids the armory of a private security agency and carts away 35 M-16 rifles, 15 shotguns and 15 bulletproof vests. Two months later, during the early evening rush hour, the band tries to steal at gunpoint the van of a 19-year-old nursing student waiting for his sister in a shopping center on a busy, narrow road in Parañaque City. When the young man resists, he is shot dead.

                    [Summary] => 
For all those rosy reports about a falling crime crate, the public can only be alarmed by recent events. A band of thugs raids the armory of a private security agency and carts away 35 M-16 rifles, 15 shotguns and 15 bulletproof vests. Two months later, during the early evening rush hour, the band tries to steal at gunpoint the van of a 19-year-old nursing student waiting for his sister in a shopping center on a busy, narrow road in Parañaque City. When the young man resists, he is shot dead.
