Jeepney Passenger Shares Video of Beggar Holding Rock While Asking Alms
A jeepney passenger in Pasay experienced a frightening encounter after a beggar allegedly threatened to throw a stone at her for not giving money.
Shamie Guadalupe, a Facebook user, shared her horrifying experience with a male beggar holding a rock while facing her. The post immediately spread like wildfire online and elicited comments from the netizens.
According to Shamie, she was on her way home from work along Macapagal Boulevard on February 28, 2025, when the man boarded the jeepney. At first, he pretended to wipe the shoes of passengers before asking for money.
When the jeepney passenger did not give him any, he tapped her twice and then raised a stone as if about to throw it at her. The man’s action left her terrified, unsure of what the man might do next. Fortunately, the jeepney driver quickly intervened, calling out the beggar’s behavior. The man then stepped off the vehicle without further incident.
Many netizens expressed concern over the increasing number of aggressive beggars and the risks they pose to commuters. Others shared their own experiences of encountering similar situations while riding jeepneys in different parts of the city.
Passengers are encouraged to stay alert, avoid engaging with suspicious individuals, and report any threats to the proper authorities. Meanwhile, commuters hope that measures will be put in place to prevent similar incidents in the future, ensuring a safer environment for everyone.

Pauwe ako galing trabaho may naka sabay ako sa loob ng jeep na Security Guard ng SM tapos may pasahero din sa harapan. Bago mang yare to, Sumakay yung lalake na yan sa harap ng MET LIVE tapos kunware punas punas sa mga sapatos namin for my safety at yung gamit ko agad ko naman yinakap itong gamit ko bag, groceries tyaka yung phone ko agad ko hinawakan mabuti tyaka sinuot ko sa pag kakalace yung phone ko para INCASE HABLUTIN o WHAT. naka Airpods ako that time pinatay ko ring yung sounds kase as in diko siya marinig tapos kumakalabit siya sa binti ko at nanghihingi na nga siya tapos yung guard na nakasabayan ko Hindi siya naabutan ng pera hindi ko din siya naabutan kahit magkano kase wala na din akong coins, Sinabihan pa siya ng guard na naka sibilyan na “ WALA PANG SAHOD NGANGA PA TAYO “ tapos Kinalabit niya pa ako ulit sabay turo sa plastic na hawak ko “ Te baka may pagkain penge naman “ sumagot lang ako na “ Wala pong pagkain kuya uniform at Zesto lang po ito “ Sabay iwas ako tingin sakanya.
