Wallet was safe but my few peso notes from shirt pocket was taken. I caught the girl with money in hand but she denied its mine. How???
So another lesson for my brothers here. Credit from my small loss. You know now to watch out for groups approaching you in fields. PREVENTION IS BETTER THEN CURE.

Reminds me of a survival tip I tell cheongsters in HCMC - can apply to MNL/AC as well:
1. Don't carry a wallet. You don't need your NRIC, Singapore Driver's Licence, multiple credit cards, S'pore Bank ATM card, etc. etc. with you when you go out overseas. I simply carry cash for the night's expenditure in my front jeans/shorts/trousers pocket and maybe 1 credit card in my back pocket as emergency back up. That's it that's all.
Leave everything else in the hotel room safe.
2. Leave that Rolex, gold chain, gold ring, etc. back home in Singapore. Needless to say, don't walk around with the latest Canon/Nikon camera strapped around your neck like I see many tourists do in HCMC. They are simply asking for trouble.
Safe and happy travels to all.
