Cebu Travel Blog Crime Feature: Another Robbery Turned Deadly in Metro Cebu Saddens Cebu Travel Buff

Metro Cebu yet again lost a life to a street robbery that turned deadly. The incident happened in a dark street in Barangay San Vicente, Liloan, Cebu and claimed the life of Lucky Pitogo, a 6'3" cager playing for the University of the Visayas Green Lancers. 3 men on board a red motorcycle apparently blocked his path while he was driving his bicycle to meet his teammates in a barangay league in Yati, Liloan, Cebu. He reportedly replied to messages on his way and might have caught the attention of the robbers who shot him in the forehead. His Nokia N80 cellphone however was not taken as this was under his body. This is the 3rd similar incident in Metro Cebu in a span of less than 1 month. Prior to Pitogo's death, Cebu Doctors' University senior nursing student Ruby Jade Ruba was shot dead in a Cebu City backstreet while working mom Virginia Baguio was also slain in similar fashion in Lapulapu City, Cebu. The spate of robberies and murders could change the Cebu travel plans of tourists.
