If you ride jeepneys most of the time, I strongly advice you read on. I'm writing this actual victim's account as a precaution with my sincerest prayers that this won't happen to you and any of your loved ones. The victim was a mere high school student. She wanted me to share her story.

| Ordinary bag as an accessory to a crime |
If a man with a large bag, (usually the bag used as hand carry
when you travel or any other props that can serve the purpose) sits beside you with the bag placed on his lap, be cautious. This
bag can be a tool or accessory to a crime. If part of the bag is already on your
lap, I suggest you change seats that instant or loudly and firmly tell the man
to put the bag down. Look at him intently and make it obvious that the bag seriously
bothers you. A lot.
Here is the monster's modus operandi:
He will intentionally let part of the bag settle on the victim's lap. If he sees that she doesn't mind, which is originally out of kindness from the victim, the pervert will continue with his plot. After a while, when the victim somewhat feels accustomed with the bag's weight and the bag's size covers most of the victim's upper body (critical part of the vile scheme), the maniac's hand will start roaming freely and the harassment is totally blocked from view to the rest of the passengers.
Unfortunately the HS student experienced this evil ploy. After feeling something weird and finding the maniac's hand near her bosom, too scared and too shocked to make
a scene, the girl only changed seats. The pervert acted like nothing happened. When she alighted from the jeep, here's another disturbing part -- the maniac followed
her.
The poor child ran. Luckily she saw a traffic enforcer and
reported about the stalker. She stayed there in the center of the
traffic flow. After a while, she left the enforcer
and started walking to find a jeep bound to Balintawak. The perverted beast appeared, just on the opposite street.

As you can see, the psychopath is pursuing her for
other hideous agenda. She was wearing a very conservative attire,
mind you- a flowery blouse and long black skirt.
It was hard for the victim to recount this. She said it felt like her spirit left her
body and she can vividly see how the chase progresses like a
nightmare unravelling in her very eyes. She held back her tears and was praying
the whole time. She ran as fast as she could.
A jeep stopped near her to alight a passenger, she hurriedly
went inside. As much as she could, she hid herself from the jeepney's windows. Her
face lost its color, her hands were shaking. Later on she bravely peeped and saw that horrible man degenerate casually walking and
inspecting some parked jeeps meters from her. The jeep finally sped
away. God is so good, she made it home safe. It
was traumatic. She never wore that blouse and skirt again.
What do you think she should have done given the scenario? Should Death Penalty be reinstated? I think yes, how about you?
