hitman 246 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 A few days ago in Iloilo, about 10 of us relatives were riding on a private jeepney which had a sign indicating so. We came to an area where jeepneys are in high demand and a young, scary looking male jumped on. He was told nicely in visayan to please get off because this is private. He got angry, threatened to steal it, and more. (I was told this later as I don't understand visayan). I guess I'm relating this story because I'm sure if I had known the seriousness, I might have gone after him and beaten him up - not good if you're a foreigner. I was angry afterward learning he threatened my wife and others onboard. Just goes to show you stuff can happen quickly and I could have been arrested easily. Link to post Share on other sites

rep1 2,161 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 He probably thought you bought all the seats with dollars and took away his chance of siting... Why do you guys even take jeepneys anyway? Why not live like middle-class filipinos and get a van and a driver? Link to post Share on other sites
SkyMan 26,673 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Best to at least tie a rope across the back when renting the jeep. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 55,116 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Best to at least tie a rope across the back when renting the jeep. Absolutely. Or, have a door that can be closed, with "Private" on it. An easy to to stop an issue, prior to it becoming one. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
diverdon 532 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 It is much better to allow your wife's male relatives take care of things like this. Reguard yourself as the ready reserve. Should the other party initiate violence and your male relatives are losing then kill them. There is no "beating up" that you suggest. Once the action starts, finish it. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Enuff 29,745 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 whenever we rent a jeepney it includes the driver and the conductor, who sits on the back. pretty sure he would have squashed that guy rather quickly Link to post Share on other sites

Diverdon is telling you straight, your in deep du-du if involved "finish it" in short order, at least out for the count. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

hitman 246 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) He probably thought you bought all the seats with dollars and took away his chance of siting...Why do you guys even take jeepneys anyway? Why not live like middle-class filipinos and get a van and a driver?Of course we tried getting a van but none were available way out in the province. Only transpo available in this province for our large group was a jeepney belonging to my wife's godmother. I told them to put up a rope or other barrier but they just ignored me. I should mention about 3 guys did board at different times during our 45 min trip but all departed peacefully except this one person.

hitman 246 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) so now we are advising members to commit murder on the open forum?Looks like it. Not sure how far I would have taken things if I had gotten involved. Beating on this guy after his threats would have been sweet but there were too many witnesses nearby who could've fingered me. Aholes like this are just itching to get the crap beat out of them. I just don't understand this attitude. Edited February 15, 2016 by hitman Link to post Share on other sites
oztony 36,121 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) His behaviour may have been a reaction to his embarrassment at not knowing it was a private ride , Was there enough room? did it discomfort to give him a lift.... I have had Filipino's jump in my private pedicab while I have been driving , the shock and horror when they realise a white man is operating it is gold , I just tell them walay problema , and drop them on the way I am going , Doesn't have to be hard , just depends how defensive or easy going everybody is at the end of the day , and that's what we all want to see ..... the end of the day.

Davaoeno 38,448 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Aholes like this are just itching to get the crap beat out of them. I just don't understand this attitude. Me either !! But I guess some people like to think of themselves as tough and are just itching for an opportunity. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
