Gagawa sila ng paraan para may pambayad. Siguro natsambahan nila na anak ko ang dumaan,&quot; he said.</p><p>(They were high. That&#x27;s what they do, holdup. They will do anything to get money.

Renato said he cannot accept the fact that some people only watched while his son was being attacked.</p><p>&quot;Pati yung pinarang sasakyan, &#x27;di man lang hinintuan. Walang nagmalasakit,&quot; he said.</p><p>(Even the vehicle that was being hailed didn&#x27;t stop. No one cared.)</p><p>He likewise aired his disappointment over the barangay, which was only around 100 meters from the crime scene.</p><p>In fact, the crime was caught on the CCTV installed by the barangay.</p><p>&quot;Kung tutuusin yung pinangyarihan malapit na sa barangay, pero nakagawa pa rin sila,&quot; Renato lamented.</p><p>(The crime happened near the barangay hall but it still happened.)</p><p>&quot;Mabagal yung proseso pagdating sa CCTV. Kasi yung CCTV, kung may naka-monitor lang dun madali lang takbuhin yun e. I-radyo kagad, takbuhin ng motor yun di aabutin ng isang minuto baka maligtas pa anak ko. Maabutan pa yung nag-aagawan sila ng bag,&quot; he said.</p><p>(The process with the CCTV is too slow. They could have ran to the area if someone was monitoring the footage. They could have radioed it, used a motorcycle. It wouldn&#x27;t have taken a minute and they could have saved my boy. They could have been there while they were struggling over the bag.)</p><p>Renato said he doesn&#x27;t want to blame anyone for the crime. </p><p>&quot;Wala nang sisihan. Nangyari na. Sana wala nang susunod pa na mangyayari (I don&#x27;t want to blame anyone. It already happened. I hope it doesn&#x27;t happen again.)&quot;</p>
