MANILA, Philippines – The 22-year-old nurse verbally and physically assaulted inside an FX taxi by John Michael Arellano Musni vowed to press charges even as the latter is currently nowhere to be found.
In an interview with Radyo DZMM, “Joan” said she would not settle with her assailant as she doesn’t want him to victimize others.
“Hindi po ako magpapaareglo kasi po ayoko pong mangyari ‘yun sa iba. Saka po ‘yung trauma na binigay niya. Para pong hirap ka na sumakay sa sasakyan, parang ayaw mo na umalis ng bahay, kasi takot ka na sa mga tao,” she said.
[I will not settle because I don’t want that happening to others. And because of the trauma he gave me. It has become hard to ride a car and leave the house because you’ve become afraid of other people.]
For her part, Soy Gonzales, Joan’s fellow passenger who recorded the incident via video clips which has since gone viral, indicated her willingness to testify on the latter’s behalf.
She also belied speculations Musni and his wife were engaged in an argument before he turned on Joan.
“Hindi po sila nag-aaway. Ang inaway niya lang po talaga ‘yung babae kaya nagulat rin po ‘yung nurse kung bakit po siya sumigaw agad. ‘Yung bungad niya pa lang, pasigaw na po eh,” she said.
[They were not fighting. The only one he confronted was the nurse who was surprised why he was suddenly shouting. He was already shouting the moment he opened his mouth.]
Charges of oral defamation, unjust vexation and physical injury are currently being readied against Musni who has since been off the radar after the incident.
