Bataan - The Philippine National Police (PNP) reiterated its warning against strange textmates yesterday, following the holdup of a pretty woman by a fellow who befriended via cellphone messages over the weekend. Senior Inspector Emelito M. dela Cruz, Pilar chief of police, said a certain "Joy," 27, of San Vicente, Orion, was held up by her textmate when they met. Lucky for her, police arrested the suspect, identified by Dela Cruz as Joner Garcia, 24, of Sitio Kapampangan, Sta. Rosa, here. Dela Cruz said the suspect allegedly divested the victim of P3,000 and her cell phone at gunpoint. (Mar T.
