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.

Shai Pedernal was waiting for her husband to pick her up when she was attacked by two men riding a TMX motorcycle.

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.

“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,” explained Pedernal.

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 deleted the post in her timeline but she already reported the incident in Mabalacat City Police Station. Moreover, the police were already trying to address the culprits and monitoring the persons of the interest in the city.

Penitensya: Wounds of Reflection and Faith

by: Maricris Guerrero In the Philippines where Roman Catholics make up 81 percent of the po pulation, it is no surprise that Filipinos have numerous traditional events during Holy Week.  In the early days, these traditions and practices where done for reflection of their sins and the sacrifice Jesus Christ has made. One of these traditions is ‘penitensya’ [penance], which is derived from Old French and Latin ‘poenitentia’.
