BUKIDNON NEWS – According to a news report published on SunStar, a man was shot and robbed in Valencia City, Bukidnon.
Thirty nine year old Ricky Calma, a resident of Dangcagan Bukidnon, was declared in critical condition after a still unidentified suspect allegedly shot him and also robbed him Sunday evening.
The crime happened in Valencia City, Bukidnon.
Calma sustained a gunshot wound in his nape. Currently, he is confined at the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) in Cagayan de Oro.
According to Calma’s sister-in-law, the victim was on his way home from Valencia City aboard his motorcycle when an unidentified man who covered his face with a black cloth called him when he passed by a cemetery.
The following can be found on the news report: Calma reportedly tried to ignore the man but was forced to slow down when the latter’s companions showed up and tried to ride in his motorcycle.
The victim tried to speed up but was immediately shot in the nape by a still unidentified gunman. The suspects then took away his motorcycle.
Calma was still able to seek help and was brought to a nearby hospital but was later transferred to NMMC due to his critical condition.
The case is now under investigation by police operatives.

Why didn't you use the word "neck" instead of "nape"? He was shot in the neck! Also, nobody rides IN a motorcycle. He rides ON a motorcycle while you ride IN a car or truck.
You are aware that English spoken in the Philippines is somewhat different than you speak as it is different in India, England, Australia and others.
Of course I know that after 8 years in the country. It does not change the fact that the language is often incorrect. That is sometimes why the laws are incomprehensible to many. "Nape" is correct but I have not heard that word used in conversation in my entire life, other than when someone or something is 'held by the nape of the neck' although the more common expression would be, 'scruff of the neck.'
