Paula Jamie Salvosa, a passenger of the Light Railway Transit (LRT) Santolan station who became impatient and lost her cool ended up berating a security guard on Tueday, November 13, 2012 is still the top hit in the local google search.

Paula Jamie Salvosa was not aware that Gregory Paulo Llamoso was secretly capturing a video using his cellphone. On the same day, Gregory Paulo Llamoso uploaded the video in Facebook and others uploaded it in youtube too.

Paula Salvosa's video went viral on Facebook Tuesday night, getting more than 68,000 shares and 17,000 comments, and aired on TV networks. She was also trending in microblogging site, Twitter with a hashtag, AMALAYER, which came from the passenger's pronunciation of "I'm a liar,".

With these events happening all over the local media, Paula finally surfaced to defend herself.

Reached by GMA News, Salvosa said she is willing to resolve the issue with the security guard, though it was the lady guard who raised her voice initially.

"Sabi n'ya sa 'kin, sumigaw, 'Miss, anong problema mo?' Sabi ko sa kanya, you are my problem!" she said.

Salvosa added that the guard, identified as Sharon Mae Casinas, grabbed her arm. "Sabi ko, bakit? You have no right to drag me! Nagagalit ako kasi she grabbed me!"

Salvosa said she would not have reacted that way if the guard had treated her well.

For her part, Casinas said she asked the woman to put her bag though the X-ray machine for proper inspection. However, Salvosa began raising her voice. Casinas, on the other hand, said she remained calm despite the humiliation.

"Nagkulong po [ako] sa kwarto sa sobrang kahihiyan," she added.

Meanwhile, Salvosa said she is a victim of cyberbullying. She also denied that she owns the Twitter account @paulaharlow, as she has already deactivated her Twitter and Facebook accounts.

"I want to be an example na may karapatan naman tayo. Cyberbullying ito," she said.

There are few things that I would like to bring up.

First, why do Filipinos do easily make an early judgment and extend our sympathy to someone over an incident which has too less factual information. Less information in a sense that the video uploaded by Gregory Paulo Llamoso was too short. The uploaded video did not reflect the first part of the confrontation.

Second, I could not fathom why Gregory Paulo Llamoso brought the video into a wider and broader audience. Gregory Paulo Llamoso is practicing vigilantism which also humiliates the concerned parties. What was he trying to prove?

Now, I want to make things fair. The administration of LRT and the local media are not presenting the whole idea with proper justification. They are exaggerating the issue. The reports are misleading and one-sided. These are acts of defamation.

LRT has CCTVs, they should have reviewed the whole incident and verify if there was indeed no physical contact initiated by the lady guard--Sharon Mae Casinas. My personal experience in Mandaluyong MRT station two months ago could be a living proof when one of the guards forcibly pulled my bag to do the routine inspection though in fact I was already unzipping my bag infront of him.

Again, this case is totally unfair for Paula Jamie Salvosa. As the administrator of DiversityHuman.com, I am calling the attention of Miss Paula Jamie Salvosa. Please send me an article and I will publish it on your behalf. We will not edit your article. We will publish it as is.

Fight for your rights, Paula Salvosa. You have the right to privacy and should not be bullied this way. I know you reacted too much the other day but I guess the netizens are overreacting and they are already in the limits of character assassination.
