Pregnant Woman Confronted with Harassment and Verbal Abuse by Senior Citizens During Parking Dispute
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – A pregnant woman was harassed and verbally abused in NAIA Terminal 3 due to a parking lot dispute.
On October 30, 2023 (Monday), a distressing incident occurred at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3. Video footage shows a pregnant woman enduring harassment and offensive language over a parking space dispute.
The pregnant woman identified as Kat, was trying to park her car next to another one. She explained that she urgently needed to use the restroom, which led her to park her car as closely as possible.
Kat shared a message on social media asking for help to identify those involved. She mentioned that she left a note with her phone number for them to call when they returned, but things took a different turn.
In the video, an elderly man approached Kat and began angrily scolding her for parking in front of his car. He used harsh words, yelled, and questioned her actions. He continued to use bad language and derogatory comments.
The pregnant woman repeatedly apologized and explained that she only went to the restroom, saying, “Sorry po, nag-CR lang po…”
Despite her attempts to resolve the situation and move her car, the man continued to verbally harass her.

“Nangyari po ito kanina lang sa NAIA 3 parking lot. 4 months pregnant po ako at dahil po ihing ihi na po ako at walang available na parking space, nagdecide po ako na magpark sa harap ng ibang sasakyan pero nagiwan po ako ng note na nakalagay na magccr lng po ako at iniwan ko din po ung cp number in case na may lalabas po na sasakyan ay macontact nila ako. Nakareceived po ako ng tawag sa isang babae at nagmamadali po ako na bumalik sa sasakyan kasama ang 11yrs old kong anak pero palapit pa lang po kmi ay pinagmumǔra na po nila ako. Galit na galit po sila dahil nakaharang ung sasakyan ko at pinagsisipa pa nila. Humihingi po ako ng pasensya sa kanila pero tuloy pa din po ung pagmumǔra nila sakin. Sinabi ko din na buntis po ako at need ko lang po tlaga magcr pero pinagmumǔra pa din nila ako at sinabihan ako na wala daw silang pakialam kung buntis ako. Pilit pa po nila binubuksan ung pinto ng sasakyan ko at sinisira ung side mirror habang lumilipat na ako ng pwesto. Makikita nyo din po jan na nagdirty finger pa po sakin ung isa nilang kasama. Sobrang takot ko po para sa safety ko at ng anak ko kaya hindi ko po nakuha ung plate no. ng sasakyan nila. Nagreport po ako sa airport police pero wala daw pong cctv sa parking area. Sana po ay matulungan nyo ko na ma-identify ang mga taong ito at mapanagot po sila sa maling ginawa nila sa akin at sa anak ko.”
