PHOTO: Man caught performing lewd act in public vehicle

Netizen Sofia Ignacio got a shock when she saw a man displaying his genitalia and performing a lewd act in front of her.

On her Facebook account, Ignacio uploaded four photos of a man in a nasty act in broad daylight inside the jeepney and added a caption which read,

“May tamang lugar naman siguro sa pagmamasturbate kuya. Pero bakit!!! Bakit sa harap ko pa at sa jeep ng ganitong kaaga? Hayop ka. Kadiri ka. t(-_-t)”

(Translation: “Perhaps there’s a proper place where to masturbate, dude. But why? Why do you have do this right before my eyes and here inside jeepney so early? You beast. You’re nasty!”)

The original post was made public on May 8 and removed few hours after it spread like wildfire in social media.
