Ang masaya sanang panonood ng aktres na si Camille Prats sa concert ng K-pop girl group na BLACKPINK ay nauwi sa mapait na karanasan nang manakaw ang kanyang cellphone sa labas ng Philippine Arena noong Linggo, March 26.

Kuwento ni Camille sa kanyang Instagram, nawala ang kanyang cellphone na nakalagay sa loob ng kanyang bag bago pa man magsimula ang concert ng BLACKPINK.

"March 26, Philippine Arena: BlackPink Concert 5:42 pm. My phone got stolen from my bag before the concert started. Called VJ right away so they can mark my phone as lost using my laptop and erase all data as well," pagbabahagi ni Camille sa Instagram.

"We have a tracker installed in my phone, the moment I called VJ, the phone was already in the parking lot area. 9:30pm: leaving Philippine Arena already while VJ on the other hand, together with Ice, were on the way to Philippine Arena coz the phone can still be tracked there. At this point, phone was already locked and erased through the laptop. It was also turned off by the person holding it."

Ang VJ na tinutukoy ni Camille ay ang kanyang asawang si VJ Yambao samantalang si Ice naman ay anak ni VJ sa dati niyang relasyon.

"March 27 3:00am: VJ and Ice got home after following the location of the phone and which house it ended in. Ala Taken movie.

"8:30am: VJ and I can still track the phone. Still at the same house where VJ last saw it. We went to the nearest police station of the location and showed them how we can still track the phone. They accompanied us to the house where the phone was last tracked."

Pagpapatuloy ni Camille, nakipag-ugnayan rin sila sa security guard ng village kung nasaan ang kanyang nawalang cellphone.

"When we got there, we got in touch with someone from their homeowner's association to assist us as well as the village guards. VJ spoke to them the night before coz that's where they followed the phone.

"We knocked and asked the owners of the 2 houses if they chanced upon my phone which was lost in the area. No mention of it getting stolen, we didn't want to accuse anyone of such thing, just really trying to explain to them that my phone can still be tracked on that exact location at baka napansin nila.

"To no avail, they said they don't know anything about it and that nobody from their homes went to Philippine Arena. But clearly, the tracker says that the phone is there."

Dahil hindi diumano nakita ng mga nakatira sa bahay ang nawawalang cellphone ni Camille, bumalik sila sa police station.

"12:00pm: Went back to the police station. VJ and the police officers asked if they can review the cctv of the village gate to see which vehicles went in between 1:15-1:20am because the phone notified that it reached the house there at 1:20am.

"1:00pm: the phone changed its location. From the house where we went to, it can now be located near IBP road. We left to follow it together with the police officers. We did not find it.

"2:00pm: the phone moved again and was located at shopwise commonwealth ave. We followed together with the police officers.

"At this point, I feel like chances are slim na coz we're now in a public place and it's going to be harder na to find the phone."

Matapos ang ilang oras ng paghahanap, sumuko na sina Camille at VJ sa paghahanap sa nawawala niyang phone ngunit habang nasa sasakyan ay nakita nilang nasa presinto na ang cellphone ni Camille.

"4:00pm: we decided to stop following na coz it felt like we're chasing a mouse. With no lead or idea who exactly we are looking for who has my phone. Umuwi na kami. On our way home we saw that the phone moved again. Its now at Precinct 6.

"5:30pm: more than an hour later, still checking the location, its still at precinct 6. VJ said, 'Love di kaya sinurrender na 'yung phone sa police station' We called the police officers we were with to confirm by calling.

"6:00pm: we received a call from my brother who knows someone who knows someone working at precinct 6 saying somebody sent my phone there via a motorcycle delivery service. We found the phone!"

Nang mabawi ni Camille ang kanyang nawalang cellphone, hindi nila napigilan ng mister niyang si VJ na maging emosyonal.

"VJ and I were both in tears. We were praying the moment we left the house, on the road, before going down to the police station. It's both our first time to ever go to a police station to ask for help, we didn't know what to expect.

"We just prayed and prayed that things will fall into place and that God will help us find it. And He did. Only He alone can change people's hearts and that probably led the person who has my phone to eventually surrender it back. They could've easily dumped it or threw it anywhere."

Kasalukuyang napapanood si Camille sa GMA Afternoon Prime series na AraBella na mapapanood tuwing Lunes hanggang Biyernes, 3:20 p.m., pagkatapos ng Abot-Kamay na Pangarap.
