MANILA - Crime rate may be low but the boxing match between the People's Champ Manny Pacquiao and Chris
Algieri failed to deter all crime in the Philippines on Sunday.
Senior Superintendent Wilben Mayor, Philippine National Police public information office chief, said a total of four
crimes were reported from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, November 23.
He said the four crimes include 2 shooting incidents, a stabbing incident and a carjacking.
In the shooting incident, a man was shot by a still unidentified gunman at No. 43, Singkamas Street, Barangay
Tumana in Marikina Sunday.
Another shooting incident was also reported wherein a militiaman of the 14th Infantry Battalion was killed inside his
home in Region 8.
One motorcycle was taken at Angelo Street, Barangay Amoranto in Quezon City yesterday while a man was stabbed
dead by suspect Carmelo Agapito at the Iloilo Terminal Market in Iloilo City.
Police also received a report of a vehicular accident at the national highway at Santiago, Agusan del Norte.
Manila's streets are usually deserted before and during Pacquiao bouts as majority of Filipinos watch the fights on
TV.
Police authorities have said the crime rates drop every time Pacquiao enters the ring.
Pacquiao defeated Algieri via unanimous decision and improved his record to 57 wins with five losses and two
draws.
