Netizen recounts how she was almost kidnapped in broad daylight

A netizen who almost abducted shared her experience at the hands of an unknown criminal which occurred just last week in Parang, Marikina City. Khristine Corpus posted on her Facebook account how a man pointed a gun at her while she was on her way home. Frantically feeling like she was about to die, Corpus realized a lot of things:

1. There is no “too early” or “too late” for criminals. There was still light and a lot of people when this happened.
2. Criminals do not choose places. This happened in a place where a lot of people were present and active, and again there was still light.
3. Always be aware of your surroundings and be alert of the people around you. You might be saving not only your own life, but someone else’s.
4. If there’s something you have to do, or someone you have to talk to, do it now. After what happened, I realized how crucial time is. We may never have a second chance.
5. Pray. Trust me, it does a lot.

Fortunately, she was saved when a group of boys, ironically strangers to her, too, approached them. They thankfully got the message that she was in danger and helped her. They beat the felon up and told her to ran to safety. She was saved, but the chilling memories of what transpired made familiar surroundings feel unsafe. “(Yet), when I walk the streets I no longer see childhood memories and familiar places. I see scary men and vicious eyes and dark paths, it’s hard to breathe at night.”

Corpus shared her experience to warn others, especially women, to always be aware, alert, and careful. Criminals can strike any time, anywhere. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
