You know nowadays people do intentional things and term it to something that would looks so pitiable to them without attaching much effects and offense to what they had done, realistically we shouldn't be that naïve over things of life and then channels it to something that would looks so pitiably in order to prevent or skip the consequences. True he may have stolen the money for the purpose of gambling and when he noticed that he has nothing much left with him he then used small amount left with him to go drinking and give to friends to cover up his gambling attitudes.

When a child is not properly disciplined at home, he will act and behave in ways that do not conform to societal norms. To prevent such behaviours, parents must educate their children about gambling and its dangers.

For a child to steal and gamble indicates that the child has been gambling and has reached an addictive state. There is a need to sanction the individual and then restrict them from gambling. If he is pardoned, he is likely to continue stealing to gamble.

This is not the case of a hunger, this is nothing but gambling addiction. There is no way you will be hungry and the next thing you want to think of is gambling, he would have spend the money buying enough food stuffs at home so that if eventually he is caught, he will present the food stuff in his home as evidence, he is definitely lying.

If a gambler is addicted, they don't mind selling their things, they don't mind selling their properties or even the ones of their close relatives and families, this is whu gambling addiction is very bad. I hope he learn his lesson after this.

Stealing to gamble is something that should not even be contemplated by anyone who is mentally sound because stealing is actually against the laws of the state and against God and even humans so it should be discouraged among the young ones as it can lead to a societal problem if left unchecked by the society so the prison sentence given to the young Gambler is okay and in other as it serves as a lesson to others who is still having such thoughts

and they are all coins worth 10k PHP (170USD) lol  must have been very heavy to carry. he would have been a hero if he toss them up to the air like robinhood would do it for the hungry street kids.

he looks skinny though. either he is into meth or really hungry but at the same time wants to double the money he stole by gambling. most probably he wants to impress his friends so he gave away some.

Instead of doubling his money, he was so addicted that he would steal money to gamble.

Even if he can double the money he will not return the stolen money.

I see many similar cases in my country where people have dared to steal just to gamble, because they don't have money while they want to play gambling, so they steal....

Then of course this will face legal problems, he will definitely be arrested and imprisoned.

Well could be that he want this get rich quick thing in gambling unfortunately for him it's not happening. His inner self wanted more out of that money to escape from hunger or even poverty but he has wrong mindset. And his effort of stealing that money is useless since he ends up in jail or he might be intentionally doing that so he's having good sleep, food and of course with security.

Tossing aside the gambling and the stealing stuff, things like this happen every day and hundreds of those happen with using drugs, I mean how do people that lose everything have money to gamble anyhow, but rather than talking about that, what is this:

from a “piso net” internet café.

Are internet cafes still a thing? Why?

Its like vending machine. A person can use his phone to access WiFi for few minutes with a peso. This is a common business in the Philippines because not everybody has internet connection at home.

He broke the machine now kids are not able to use internet for their school assignment. This robber just ruined the only access of the kids nearby.

I doubt he return the money if he doubled the money, he's going to buy more drugs.

Whatever the motive is for stealing, stealing is bad and should never be justified. To know if it was actually just hunger that prompted this 21-year-old to steal to gamble, it can be traced from his gambling history. If he has a gambling history with very recent consecutive losses, then we can say this is a case of someone who is addicted to gambling and has allowed it to push him to steal. If he has no gambling history, and maybe this was his first time, then you can say his intentions were purely to try to double the money.

Addiction is something very bad and is beyond the victim power to control. He was never hungry but prefer to steal to fuel up his addiction. Parents have a major role to play on making sure that there kids are brought up in a God fearing way with good morals. He has being stealing at home to gamble and this is not the first time. It's better you don't think of gambling when you don't have spare funds on you.

You are right on this; if its really hunger, the first thing you will do is buy food and not gamble with the money; its just an alibi for him to hide his addiction, but it doesn't make sense with that alibi. Those addicted to gambling are like this; they will tell you lies and out of this world alibis just to justify their bad deeds; they even blame people except themselves and their addiction.
When a person gives you this kind of alibi, you know that he is gambling too much and you cannot reason to him and he needs an immediate rehabilitation.

The person who stole the money here may have planned to double his money through gambling and give it back to his friend, but there is no certain way to double the money from gambling. He lost his money in gambling and now he can lie to prove himself innocent. Assuming without knowing the real facts will not always be correct. However, such incidents are not new. There are many examples of a person who won a huge amount of money by betting with the money of a friend or another person and later got the money back.

Many individuals are so guilty of this kind of attitude of thinking of doubling their money through gambling, leaving the exact reason behind why they did what they did to have the money at hand.

Give the young 21 years old boy huge money to cater for himself so that he won't steal people's money again, you will still find him gambling over again because he's been addicted to gambling, thinking that he can make quick money from gambling
