ALERT: Tragic Story

[Galactus]

From the way I read the story, there were 2 different cabs and 2 different drivers. So, hindi issue yung nagpalit siya ng damit sa loob ng 1st cab, which gave the 1st driver the impulse to rape/rob her, since it was the 2nd cabbie who did the foul deed. But admittedly, it was stupid of her na magpalit ng damit sa loob ng taxi.

Also, can you imagine a cabbie saying, "...it's not worth it!" In English. Hehehe, sorry for the stereotyping.

I agree with Shadow the BF is not responsible for her when she goes out on her own since she is an adult. Just because you have a BF doesn't mean your responsiblity for your safety goes out the door. Before someone comments that I don't know what it's like to care for a loved one I am married with a 12 year old daughter and I expect both my wife and daughter to be responsible for their own safety when I am not around. What if her BF lives abroad does that mean she can't go out because he won't be there to pick her up? Also why in all this did she not call her house instead of her BF since she was only a few streets away from the location of both incidents? Why is her first instinct to call her BF of 2 months instead of members of her house who can get to her sooner since she is only streets away from her? I doubt she was sober and changing clothes in front of a male you don't even know is not something that a reasonable/sober woman would be doing at 3 AM.

My advice regardless of male or female is to have a particular taxi and driver that you have used before to pick you up and drop you home. My nephew's GF/wife used to do that when she went out to clubs, all she had to do was text him and at the very least if something happens you already know the driver and taxi company. As for not going out with out a ride not everyone has a car or friends that can drive you all the time. Besides if you've been drinking it's better not to drive a car, the life you save may be yours.

Mr. redorange, please do not apply your American values to this situation kasi nasa Pilipinas kami. If you feel cozy and safe with your American cops and justice system to say those things then well and good. Sadly enough it does not make our country any safer than yours.

Ang sinasabi ko lang naman ay dapat nag-effort yung kasintahan niya na sunduin siya dahil ALAM NG LALAKI NA PUPUNTA YUNG KASINTAHAN NIYA SA CLUB AT MALAMANG GAGABIHIN NG UWI. Dahil sa kawalan ng initiative ng lalaki manundo "kasi may pasok pa siya eh" or "kasi may exam pa siya eh", napahamak tuloy ang babae. HE HAD THE CHANCE AND THE ABILITY TO DO IT BUT CHOSE NOT TO.

Now if the situation were that the BF told her GF NOT TO GO OUT, and she still went out WITHOUT HIM KNOWING, then went home inebriated and started stripping in the taxi, then I can say na di nga kasalanan ng BF yun dahil he didn't allow her to go yet tumakas pa rin siya. BUT since may basbas ng BF, then all the blame falls on him. He had the chance to prevent something bad from happening to her at least sa paguwi, but chose to sleep over it instead. Kung gusto may paraan, kung ayaw maraming dahilan.

May mga tao siguro na attitude talaga nila sa buhay is "bahala na", or que sera sera. I'm not about to tell you what to do with your life, pero if you really care about the people who matter most for you, please take the initiative and the extra effort to protect them and make sure they are always safe. Trust me, they would always appreciate it and will only strengthen your relationship with them.

Malapit na tong thread na to, i can feel it

[Chikselog]

Easy lang mga tsikoteers .. Kanya kanya na lang po siguro ng paniniwala.. Simply say that "ok, paniniwala nila yan" para tapos na ang usapan..

BTT:
Hell, I agree with all of you, why change clothes inside a taxi.. Bakit di pa ginawa yun sa cr ng club or somewhere safe to do so.. Ingat na lang talaga.. Better maki sleepover na lang muna sa kung sino ang may sundo.. BETTER safe than sorry..

[niwde11]

tanatej; kung baguhin natin kwento na nagbigay ng effort yung BF na wag na syang pumunta kasi di nga masasamahan pero tinuloy pa ring pumunta nung babae? liable pa rin ba yung BF in your opinion?

sorry pero talagang walang kasalanan o negligence ang side ni BF. Siguro kung hindi studyante ung BF, pwede pa. Also, sino ba namang babae ang nasa matinong pagiisip na magbibihis sa isang pampublikong sasakyan. hay...

I agree with others that it was not the BF's responsibility to fetch the girl, unless they are to be married soon. Something like they were already engaged. Well, that's IMO. And please tsikoteers don't fight on these things, this is a forum, it means sharing of ideas and discussing things in an organized manner. Please control your temper hehehe Infact the main topic here is the accident that happened, and it is a warning. Not the responsibility thing... right?

The lady shouldn't changed her clothes in the cab.

[Sniper Wolf]

What more important is her recovery. Get well soon. Happy Monthsary.

[lazyfoot]

I don't think it's the BF's fault.
I don't blame her that she partied too since everybody deserves to party.
She just have to be more careful the next time.
I also hope others will be too
