Female Netizen Slams Man Who Allegedly Harassed Her Cousin
A female netizen shared a photo of a male passenger who allegedly harassed her cousin inside a jeepney.
Recently, Samantha Mayordomo, a Facebook user, posted the image of the male passenger who reportedly harassed her cousin while they were inside a public jeepney. The post quickly went viral online and received various reactions from netizens.
According to Mayordomom, her cousin was only trying to find her way home after getting lost around the Baclaran area. Tired from searching for the right ride and proper drop-off point, the young woman boarded a crowded public jeepney, hoping to finally get home safely.
At first, the ride seemed normal. Because the jeepney was full, passengers were naturally seated very close to each other. Samantha’s cousin stayed quiet throughout the trip and simply tried to make space for everyone inside the vehicle.
However, as the trip continued, she started noticing unusual movements from the man sitting beside her. What initially seemed like accidental contact slowly became more disturbing. The man reportedly kept pressing himself against her repeatedly in a way that no longer felt unintentional.
The suspect allegedly touched a private part of the victim’s body. The young woman reportedly froze and could no longer speak or ask for help. According to her cousin, the suspect even appeared amused while carrying out the act.
The victim continues to carry the fear and trauma caused by the experience.
Here is the full post:
“Hindi ko akalaing sa simpleng paghahanap lang ng tamang daan pauwi, may mangyayari palang ganitong kabastusan na hindi makakalimutan ng aking pinsan. Naliligaw ang aking pinsan around Baclaran at pagod na pagod na kakahanap ng sasakyan at tamang babaan. Dahil gusto na lang niya makauwi, sumakay siya sa isang jeep na punuan at sobrang siksikan. Akala niya ordinaryong biyahe lang tulad ng ibang araw. Hindi niya alam na magiging traumatic pala yung byahe na yun para sa pinsan ko.
Tahimik lang yung pinsan ko buong byahe. Nakaupo lang siya nang maayos at nakikisiksik dahil puno yung jeep. Wala siyang ginagawa para mapansin. Gusto lang talaga niya makauwi nang maayos. Sa una akala niya normal lang yung pagdikit nung lalaking katabi niya dahil dikit-dikit naman talaga kapag punuan. Pero habang tumatagal, napapansin ng pinsan ko na parang iba na yung kilos nung lalaki. Paulit-ulit siyang dumidikit sa pinsan ko, at ramdam mong hindi na aksidente yung galaw niya.
Hanggang sa dumating sa puntong hinawakan niya mismo ang maselang bahagi ng katawan ng pinsan ko.
Hindi aksidente.
Hindi simpleng nasagi.
Sadya.
Nanigas yung pinsan ko sa sobrang gulat at takot. Hindi siya makapagsalita. Hindi siya makasigaw. Kita mo kung paano siya natulala habang pilit iniintindi yung nangyayari sa kanya. Sobrang sakit marinig sa pinsan ko kung ano ang nangyari sakanya, takot na takot siya habang may isang lalaki na bastos na ginagawa yun sa kanya sa loob mismo ng pampublikong sasakyan.
At habang ginagawa nung lalaki yung pambabastos sa pinsan ko, nakatawa pa siya.
Hanggang ngayon dala pa rin ng pinsan ko yung takot at pandidiri sa nangyari. Isang simpleng byahe lang sana yun habang naliligaw siya at naghahanap ng daan pauwi, pero naging trauma pa dahil sa isang lalaking walang respeto sa kapwa tao.
At para sa mga taong nagtatanong kung bakit hindi agad nakasigaw o nakalaban yung biktima — hindi niyo maiintindihan yung pakiramdam kapag ikaw mismo yung nabigla at natakot sa ganung sitwasyon. Minsan sa sobrang shock, nagfi-freeze yung katawan at hindi mo alam yung unang gagawin mo. Hindi kasalanan ng biktima yun.
Nakakadiri na may mga lalaking ginagamit yung siksikan sa jeep para mang-abuso. Yung alam nilang mahirap gumalaw at mahirap agad humingi ng tulong kaya doon sila kumukuha ng lakas ng loob para gawin yung kababuyan nila. Hindi yan pagiging lalaki. Kaduwagan yan.
Sana dumating yung panahon na wala nang matatakot bumiyahe sa jeep, bus, o kahit anong pampublikong sasakyan. Sana mas maraming taong handang sumita at tumulong kapag may nakikitang mali.
At sa lalaking gumawa nito sa pinsan ko: sana mahiya ka sa sarili mo. Maaaring para sayo sandali lang yun, pero yung trauma at takot na iniwan mo sa pinsan ko pwedeng dalhin niya habang buhay.”
