A netizen’s ‘traumatic’ story of being groped has gone viral on social media.
Angela, or @gelinxx on Twitter, shared how she was sexually assaulted by an unidentified man.
The CCTV footage showed Angela walking in a neighborhood in Taguig City when a man driving a Yamaha Aerox 155 stopped to ask her for directions.
They talked for a few seconds when all of the sudden the man fondled her breasts, leaving her speechless.
Angela revealed that she is 9 months pregnant, and wasn’t wearing anything men would consider revealing or sexy.

Sa area, kung meron man po di ko ibaba yung mask ko. Anyway, this man approached me, kita sa vid para daw mag tanong kung saan yung address na sinabe nya, syempre kala it delivery guy sya kaya sabi ko "kuya di ko alam eh, pero baka doon or doon pero nasa tamang street kayo -"

The man’s eyes were reddish, possibly indicating that he might have been on some kind of substance at the time of the incident.
I didn't even finished what I'm saying kasi bigla nyang dinakma yung dede ko. I'm horrified. Sino nasa tamang katinuan ang manggo-grope sa umaga at sa buntis pa?! Nung tinignan ko muli yung face nya, eyes and nose lang kita. Yung eyes nya namumula. I was so scared.

The sexual assault happened early in the morning, a time when almost everyone was still asleep.
approximately isang kanto lang ang layo ng bahay namin sa bakery. Napakalakas naman ng loob mo kuya para mang GROPE ng buntis?! Gaano ka ba kalibog sa ganong oras? ALASAIS NG UMAGA? Grabe trauma ang inabot ko sayo. Kung may asawa at anak ka man, NAPAKASAHOL MO.

"Baket di ka sumigaw?"
Alasais ng umaga. Halos lahat ng tao sa subdivision namin ay tulog pa, sumigaw ako pero wala po talagang makakadinig.— ° anj (@gelinxx) September 8, 2020
She didn’t retaliate physically due to fear of anything bad happening to her and her baby.
Sa mga taong sasabihin jan na,
"Baket di mo sinipa yung motor?"
Buntis po ako at kabuwanan ko na, sensitibo po ang pagbubuntis ko kaya inisip ko din yung kapakanan ng anak ko.— ° anj (@gelinxx) September 8, 2020
"Dapat hinila mo jacket."
Gusto ko man gawin, again inisip ko po ang anak ko. Kung hinila ko man sya at wala talaga syang awa, baka nakaladkad pa ako.— ° anj (@gelinxx) September 8, 2020
Angela believes that sexual assaults are more about men naturally being lewd than women attracting them by wearing revealing clothes. This is a huge issue when it comes to the topic of rape.
NGAYON NYO SABIHING NAMAMANYAK ANG MGA BABAE DAHIL SA SUOT NILA? TAENA BUNTIS NGA MINANYAK PA EH! 🙂
Help me to find this person. If you know someone who's good i technicalities, please dm me.

She feels like his hand is still groping her.

The CCTV footage is being examined, and hopefully will help catch the culprit.
