I took my phone to see the time. Its already 7 in the evening that's why i decide to walk.

Im now walking at the intramuros when suddenly a lady with a Filipiñana hurriedly approach me. I look at her with a pity one.

Mayroon ding dugo at dumi ang suot nyang filipiñana magulo din ang buhok nyang naka pusod. She's full of bruises and cuts. I suddenly feel the creepiness to her.

"Tulungan mo ako!" She said. She look at her back. "Tulungan mo ako parang awa mo na! Tulungan mo ako walang awa nila akong sinaktan pinag samantalahan at inabuso niyurakan nila ang aking dangal maawa ka!" Tears escaped from her eyes.

I can't talk. I suddenly lost my words. She's pleasing for help. "Tulungan mo ako hinahabol nila ako sinira nila ako!" She aggressively wiped her tears.

Nag simula na ulit syang tumakbo palayo sa kinatatayuan ko when she saw those men with a gun chasing her.

When those men finally gone in my sight i feel my knee is shaking and tears escaped in my eyes too.

I realized that the girl in front of me a while ago is Inang Bayan who abusing by those corrupted politicals.
