Netizen, Cristine Valera took a bus home from Zambales. Then this guy sat beside her asking her personal questions after that this guy put his arms around her. That's when she knew she has to be strong and fight this maniac guy.
Read her story:
I get catcalled every day. I've been violated twice but today I was harassed and I knew I had to do something to defend myself. Here's what happened. I took a bus home from Zambales (We had a family outing yesterday but since I didn't want to miss my class, I decided to go home. ) The bus took a stop in Olongapo where a lot of people departed. I was sitting alone when this guy sat beside me. I knew something was off because he immediately talked to me and asked me where my destination was (I didn't answer). During the ride I felt him move closer even though I have been avoiding touching him to the extent of being pressed against the window. When we got to Pampanga that is when he harassed me. I was on my phone and he went closer and asked, "asan na tayo?" and i answered "pampanga po." in a very disinterested and cautious voice because I felt something was wrong. He persistently kept asking more personal questions which is none of his business. After that, he put his arms over my shoulders. THAT WAS WHEN I WAS SHOCKED. EVEN THOUGH INALIS KO YUNG ARM NIYA BINALIK NIYA ULIT. LAKAS NG LOOB PARA MANG AKBAY ULIT. Some of the passengers saw what happened but they didn't help me. After 5 minutes, when I thought he wouldn't bother me anymore, that was when he asked again "saan ka bababa" and I replied with "wag mo ko kakausapin". I thought that he'd stop after that but after a while naramdaman ko na parang hihipuan niya na ako. I caught him and he removed his hand immediately. That was when I got mad and I stood up and took action. I brought my phone out and took a photo of him. He was sitting like that when I took a photo him (in case you'd misinterpret the photo) the second photo was the part I shouted at him, "HUMARAP KA DITO AT IPAKITA MO MUKHA MO" and said "Itong lalaking to kanina pa ako binabastos" then all the passengers looked and this guy stood up and said "Wala akong ginagawa sayo". I did the confrontation and this guy asked the driver to stop because he wants to go down. Before he left, he shouted "p******** i** m* mag isa diyan".
