After the report about the alleged hijacking of two trucks loaded with sugar in Negros Occidental, each carrying 500 sacks, there are differing opinions among some netizens here.
According to the two drivers, while they were on their way from a sugar central in Binalbagan, Negros Occidental, where they loaded the mentioned 1000 sacks of sugar, they were reportedly intercepted by five men who pretend to ask for a hitch hike then later declared a hold-up. Many here are skeptical of this account.
One netizen pointed out that unloading 500 sacks of feeds already takes nearly a whole day, so how could just five individuals unload the contents of two trucks, totaling 1000 bags?
Some are questioning why they stopped at a secluded location where five individuals boarded to carry out the hold-up, as per the victim’s statement.
Others are suggesting that it might be an inside job, questioning why they stopped at that particular hidden spot, especially at night.
Currently, an investigation into the incident is ongoing, and the exact cause and whether it was indeed an inside job, as some claim, is not fully known yet. Hopefully, in the coming days, the truth will be revealed, and our fellow countrymen will have a clearer understanding of what really happened. It’s also crucial to clear the names of the drivers who appear to be victims of this alleged hijacking.
As for the owners of the sugar, it’s a painful loss considering the substantial value involved. We hope justice will be served, and those responsible will be apprehended, or the stolen cargo will be recovered.
