"Bigla akong tumakbo kasi sir," said one suspect.
He added that he noticed someone running before hearing a loud sound from the side of the house.

In other news, Soobin recounted an experience in Cebu where he was allegedly overcharged by a taxi driver. The fare for the ride was first set at ₱500, but it later rose to ₱1,000 without prior agreement. Reports said the driver tried to justify the increase, saying, "Because the gas is very expensive. You know the gas…" Soobin reportedly attempted to calmly discuss the situation, resulting in a brief exchange between the two. After some negotiation, the driver eventually agreed to honor the original ₱500 amount. Soobin admitted the incident was frustrating, though he expressed relief that it ended without further issues. The experience sparked discussions online about fare transparency, with many netizens sharing similar encounters. Social media users also highlighted the importance of awareness among both drivers and passengers, emphasizing the need for fair and honest practices in the transportation industry.
Meanwhile, a comparable case surfaced in Davao, where a taxi driver was accused of overcharging a passenger. A viral post showed a fare reaching nearly ₱3,000 for a short 12-kilometer trip. The driver later apologized, explaining that he had misread the money handed to him. Authorities from LTFRB-11 have since launched an investigation into the incident, noting that penalties may be imposed if overcharging is confirmed.
