MRT experience was really unsettling
I just wanna share something that happened to me twice already while riding the MRT, specifically sa pinakadulong carriage, and honestly it was really traumatizing and alarming.
Last week, pauwi ako galing work from Cubao station and sobrang siksikan sa train I think that was like around 7:40pm. Nasa last carriage ako that time. So there was a gay man standing in front of me and at first I thought dikit-dikit lang talaga because of the crowd. But after a while, I realized intentional na pala yung paghawak niya sa may pants/private area ko.
I froze and honestly didn’t know what to do. I wanted to report it but I got nervous and just stayed quiet hanggang makababa ako. The whole situation made me really uncomfortable and confused, especially because public space siya and sobrang unexpected nung nangyari.
Then today, sa last carriage ulit ako napasakay and I noticed similar behavior again from other people. I just minded my own business this time, but it made me realize na parang common na siya sa area na yun and that’s honestly scary.
I’m sharing this because I think people should be aware. Please stay alert especially kapag sobrang siksikan sa MRT. If something feels off, trust your instincts and move away if possible. Nakaka-trauma talaga siya.
