Shai Pedernal was
waiting for her husband to pick her up when she was attacked by two men riding
a TMX motorcycle.
“Blangko na po ako
no’ng mga panahon na ‘yon, ayaw mapigtas ng bag. Sa sobrang takot ko at
naninikip na dibdib ko dahil nerbyosa at may hika po ako ‘di na ‘ko nakagalaw,
hindi na ‘ko makahinga kaya hinihintay ko siyang mapigtas,” Pedernal explained.

DAU CITY— Unidentified
men riding-in-tandem dragged a woman along the road of Don Cornelio Subdivision
in Dau City, Mabalacat, Pampanga past 3 A.M. last February 23.

The two men suddenly
grabbed her bag, which suddenly appeared on her side; due to the victim’s
shock, she involuntarily hugged the bag while one of the two men dragged her
along the road.
“Hanggang sa
nakaladkad na ako at tatlong beses umikot sa kalsada, nagba-bounce ang ulo ko
habang kinakaladkad ako no’ng mga naka-motor,” Pedernal said on her Facebook
post.
Because of her tight hold on her bag, the culprit pulled
it out which led to some additional injuries on the victim making her had a
difficulty getting up immediately.
The driver of TMX
stopped and one of the suspects came back to the victim furiously, but a guard
saw them considering the victim’s screams for help.

She also added that
she was willing to give her bag with one thousand pesos inside, but the bag
would not let go of her shoulder due to her asthma and tight chest.
Pedernal gained a deep wound on the hip, and bruises on
her thighs, hands, arms and head due to the incident.
The victim already reported
the incident in Mabalacat City Police Station, and the police were already
trying to address the culprits and monitoring the persons of the interest in
the city.
