By Elena Chong, Court Correspondent
A FILIPINO clerk was jailed for four weeks on Friday for using his mobile phone to take a picture from under a woman's skirt.

Alex Peralta Cinco 36, pleaded guilty to insulting the modesty of a 26-year-old woman on an escalator at The Heeren, Orchard Road, on Aug 9.


A court heard that the woman was shopping there with a 37-year-old man when the latter noticed Cinco placing his cellphone beneath her skirt without her knowledge.


The cellphone was flipped over with the camera function facing upwards.


When the escalator reached Level 4, the couple approached Cinco and asked to see the contents of the cellphone. Cinco handed it over after the man said they were going to call the police.


Cinco, a first offender, said in mitigation that he came to Singapore to work and hoped to continue working here.


He said he was sorry for what he had done, and asked the court to give him a chance.


Judge May Mesenas said a jail sentence was in order as such cases have gone up, and there was a danger of photographs taken with cellphones being circulated in the Internet.


Cinco could have been jailed for up to one year of fined or both for the offence.


Police statistics show that 'upskirt' filming cases have been rising yearly.


Last year, there were 50 cases of such outrage of modesty offences using electronic gadgets. This is nearly double the 28 cases in 2004. In 2005, there were 39 cases.


The culprits tend to snap 'upskirt' pictures, though others are also using modern technology and even smaller video cameras to peep into showers.

Pasalamat sya di sya na cane hehe...

[just4u]

kakahiya naman siya... buti na lang nga di siya na-cane...

[VtEC]

whoa, menyek pala e.

OT:yan kasi problema dyan sa mga gadget e.say yong cel fone e intended for voice and txt lang then nilagyan ng mp3, cam blah blah..kaya nga me digi/videocam at mga mp3 players for such function e.wtf.

[wildthing]

i don't think that it is not the technology's fault... stupidity lang at kamanyakan ang ipinakita ng pinoy na yun. sana nga na cane siya at nakulong... para magsisi at wala ng gumaya.

it would have also been good if his work/employment pass was revoked and banned from working again there and deported or expelled out of singapore. people like him have no place in a civil society.

kahit na nagsorry yan, sigurado ako uulitin pa rin nya yun...

[mhelskie]

dami na ngang naggaganyan dito sa pinas...katakot

He deserves to be jailed to make him realize the consequences of his actions.

sobrang kinis siguro noong babae kaya hindi nakapagpigil na kunan ng video/picture. marami talaga doon na maputi, makinis at maiksi kung magsuot ng palda. mabuti hindi siya sinapak ng lalaking kasama noong babae. mas malaki siguro siya kesa doon sa kasamang lalaki ng babae. natakot lang ng sabihin tatawag ng pulis. dapat i-cane siya at hindi lang kulong. pagkatapos ng sentensya niya i-deport na siya sa pinas tapos banned for life to enter singapore. huwag na siyang bigyan ng chance. kamanyakan lang naman ang ginagawa niya doon. nakakasira siya sa imahe ng ibang pinoy na matinong nagtatrabaho doon.

i think kaya siguro 4 weeks lang ang sentence kasi maybe no harm done... 'for safety' eh yung nakunan nakasuot nung tulad ng shorts ni venus williams or maria sharapova

[chua_riwap]

Sa Singapore pa naman, ang mga tsika-babes diyan mahilig magsuot ng mga "low-rise" jeans, hanging blouse, at short shorts. Sa MRT, pag humawak na sa handrail ang mga yan, pati yung "cleavage sa likod" kita na.

[kupaloids]

Hay naku!

[trunks]

Hahaha yan ang napala ng sobrang kamanyakan. Hindi pa kasi nakuntento sa tingin lang. Siguro mag po-post yan sa ibang website nang kagalingan nya sa pamboboso? hahaha buti nga. beh!

[wrcastro_ph]

nabawasan na ng isang menyek na pinoy..hehehe

pero grabe naman kase yon at talagang offending yon... tapos i po-post nya sa internet... kulang pa nga yung 1 month eh.

I really don't get this voyeur behavior. Looking up a woman's skirt to go off on, especially for a 37-yr old guy. Go to the beach or something and gawk at the scantily-clad women. Better yet, go to the red light district and rent a hooker. But looking up a woman's skirt.......sheesh.

[Dr.Kamiya]

Damn pervert deserved it!

[theveed]

Jun: Hehe, lalo na dito sa SG, he could've just ran to Sentosa and look at bikini women for free all day (well, unless umulan hahaha)

[CaMoTe!!!]
