I’m from India, and this was my first time taking a bus in the Philippines with my Pinay girlfriend. It happened on a bus going to Cagayan de Oro when this old, super-racist American guy got on. The moment he stepped onto the bus, the next 20 minutes of the ride became nothing but a nightmare for everyone on board.
He sat next to an underage girl even though he was already with a Pinay woman. He started talking to the girl, showing her pictures of hotel rooms and saying that the two of them could go there together, along with other disgusting things. She was scared as hell.
After a while, he randomly started making racist remarks about Filipinos in general, especially the girls sitting near him. He called them every horrible name you could imagine, which I won’t repeat here.
The guy in the brown T-shirt is the girl’s brother. The girl pushing the American away is his sister. Their mother and father were also on the bus. The American was trying to attack their parents because they were standing up for their daughter and trying to stop his behavior. That’s when the guy in the brown T-shirt stepped in and punched the American four or five times, really hard.
In the end, justice was served when he was thrown off the bus butt naked.
