Police revealed that the suspect was not connected to the truck crew, but was instead a thief who took advantage of the moment when the truck’s helper briefly stepped away to deliver goods to a nearby store.
Among the stolen items were personal belongings and nearly ₱100,000 in cash, which had been collected from various sari-sari stores visited by the delivery team.
The suspect, identified only as “Chris,” a 39-year-old man, was arrested in a follow-up operation.
He admitted to the crime, citing joblessness and desperation as his reasons.
“Wala kasi akong trabaho eh kaya ‘yan ang ginagawa ko. Para makaraos kami ng anak ko. Noong una kasi may nakuha akong barya. O ‘yun, sinubukan ko ulit. ‘Di ko talaga alam na may pera ‘yun. Nalaman ko na lang po nu’ng nabuksan,” said Chris.
Police recovered the cash and some of the stolen items. The suspect is now detained at the Antipolo City Police Station and faces charges of theft.

When Google Maps placed the label prominently on the platform weeks ago, the Philippine welcomed it as recognition of the country’s sovereignty in the area. No official explanation given for the fluctuating display of the contested area's name.
