Something worth reading from inq7... It's about time we assert ourselves and put these perverts in their proper place!!!
A FEW days ago, I came home fuming mad. I had passed some construction workers on a side street on the way home from school, and they hooted and made lewd comments at me. Tired, sweaty and ever the hothead, I couldn't resist yelling, "Sana 'wag mambastos, 'di ba?!" and shot them a withering look. I was so frustrated that I couldn't do anything else, but at the same time, I was afraid for my safety. I usually ignore people like that while commuting, but after a grueling, sweltering day, it was the last straw. Why should I hold my tongue when these creeps are allowed to wag theirs?

It's these kind of men that puts me off walking in the streets of Manila and taking public transport ... Most times I'd rather be stuck in traffic for hours than take the MRT. And I can never ever go on a bus ride in Manila ever again - I've seen far too many traumatising things when I was in college, commuting for two years from my plcae - school. I would like to think that I am assertive and malakas ang loob, but as much as possible, I will just simply avoid those places where those pigs lurk and abound... :mad:
