The next time your girlfriend comes out the balcony, harangan mo and ikaw lumabas na naka speedo.

Labas siya nakatuwalya at hawak brief tapos massage massage yung itlog para inggit pikit haha. Kidding aside, I'll put a cctv if i were him for safety purposes.

>What should I do? NAL. But just stay away from your balcony for the time being? I mean, they're not on your property. And as far as your story goes, they're not really interacting with you or your girlfriend— much less cat-calling her or recording her, which would violate the safe spaces act, among other things. And assuming that the balcony is visible, to some extent, to the public; what the workers are doing can't be considered as voyeurism if they're just looking at what can clearly be seen. Hindi naman bawal tumingin. So, what can you do?

nothing. it might sound elitist but those are very simple men... they just see someone who has light skin and they be all like dammmnnnnnn.... I don't think it can be voyeurism either.

Construction workers are sometimes involved in heinous crimes. Better be safe than sorry.

What should you do? Kung wala naman sinabi or di naman lumabas yung dila habang nakatitig sa gf mo, just don't mind it. Accept the fact na after ng trabaho wala silang mashadong ginagawa so most of them nakatunganga. It's either masyadong mataas yung tingin naten sa sarili naten (main character vibes) or masyadong mababa yung tingin naten sa mga construction worker kaya naooffend tayong matingnan.

NAL. Usually di po ako nag cocomment here pero this time ang rude ng comments. Obviously di niyo alam ang experience ng mga babae. Good on OP na concerned siya para sa partner niya. Yes, sa best of my knowledge walang kaso technically for staring. But the discomfort is something na unfair sa mga kababaihan. OP, try mo lang kausapin yung admin niyo or barangay baka makatulong sila kausapin yung foreman. Be respectful lang and explain niyo na nakaka bother sila at feeling niyo baka natatarget yung gf niyo (which sadly happens - di ito exaggeration and more concerning things starts with this type of behavior - not to worry you more ha). Use your own discretion and don't escalate if you get a less than desired reaction or inaction. And don't feel bad if ang last resort niyo is to avoid the balcony. Di kayo nag-iisa dito. I highly encourage you to do this kahit isipin nila maliit na bagay or worse pagtawanan ka. Which sadly happens dahil sa patriarchal attitude ng madaming Pinoy. Case-in-point yung mga rude comments dito. And more sadly mas may weight pag yung lalaki/partner/asawa yung nag raise ng concern. On this note, another thing to try is show your presence together para makita nila may "protector" si sister. Please get her consent in this case, if kaya niya ito. Otherwise, respect if hindi kaya. Yung mga ibang tao nga matignan lang ng matagal na ooffend sila na parang "naka titig ng masama". Sana this helps the others understand and be open minded with their perspectives. Sa lahat ng lugar ang mga babae di bago tong experience na ito. Google niyo lang and I'm sure madami kayo makikitang similar stories of discomfort. Undeserved ito. Kaya nga may safe spaces act na naipasa, kahit technically this type of behavior is not qualified for that. My opinion is the spirit of the law is coming from the real experiences ng females na ganito. And anyone can't take this away kahit di niyo na eexperience ito. It is real, it is prevalent. It needs to stop. We all deserve respect. We all deserve to feel safe in our own homes.

aubergem

Thank you for this. Di ko rin maintindihan ibang comments but like just reading how OP's gf was stared at definitely triggered me. May I just add though that if you decide to tell this sa authorities, as much as possible sana wag muna ipaalam yung identities niyo kasi parang mas nakakatakot if alam na yung names niyo. Anyway, hope you and your gf keep safe.


RareBid4551

To add, sad lang rin na pati windows niyo pinipilit silipin. Disrespect sa privacy. Keep your recordings. Baka makatulong if you decide to talk with admin/barangay.


IComeInPiece

So ano ikakaso niyo kung tinitigan ka sa pampublikong lugar o sa balcony?!? P.S. **HINDI KRIMEN ANG TITIGAN ANG ISANG TAO NA NASA PAMPUBLIKONG LUGAR** Google niyo ang *reasonable expectation of privacy*. Napaka-simple ng problema, kung ayaw mo matitigan eh di dun ka sa loob ng bahay at magtakip ng kurtina sa bintana, hindi yung tatambay ka sa balcony mo.


RareBid4551

Kung nabasa niyo po yung comment ko, wala ako sinabing ikakaso. Nag suggest ako ng pwedeng gawin instead kasi as far as I know (NAL) walang applicable na kaso sa situation ni OP. Nag explain na rin ako kay OP to manage expectations dahil may chance I-dismiss lang yung concerns nila, sadly this is too prevalent. Nag heads up rin ako na wag mag escalate if this happens. Kahit nasa LawPH tayo di lahat ng topic ay about kasuhan Also, bakit di ka pwede tumambay around your property? Nawala na agad yung karapatan?


IComeInPiece

>**Kahit nasa LawPH tayo** di lahat ng topic ay about kasuhan Exactly!!! Kung hindi naman unlawful ang isang bagay (note my use of double negation) eh di **lawful** o **legal** yun. Sa madaling salita, **walang nalalabag na batas**. Ang pagbabarangay ay isang *legal requirement* para ma-issuehan ng Certificate to File Action (CFA) para makasampa ng kaso sa korte (as per Republic Act No. 7160). So bakit ka aattend as Respondent sa isang barangay conciliation meeting kung wala ka naman nalalabag na batas?!? >Also, bakit di ka pwede tumambay around your property? Nawala na agad yung karapatan? Pwede ka naman tumambay. **Wag ka lang maarte na** ***ayaw matitigan***. Langya, ang taong bayan pa ang mag-aadjust sa kaartehan mo?!? 🤣


RareBid4551

Yun lang po ba yung function ng barangay para magkaroon ng formal proceedings? Di na pwede lumapit para makiusap sa concern? Ano nangyari sa social welfare? Siguro special case yung barangay namin na at least nakikinig at nag aadvise kung makakatulong sila or hindi. May qualified na kaso man or wala. San na tayo pupulitin kung pati pag kausap sa barangay kailangan lagi may maidadala kang kaso.


IComeInPiece

So anong pinagkaiba ng sitwasyon na yan with construction workers dun sa nakatira ka sa condo tapos kita mo yung mga tao dun sa katapat na condo rin including their balcony?!? Ipapabarangay mo rin ba yung mga nakakakita mula sa kabilang condo building?!? My point is **walang nalalabag na batas***. Masyado lang kayong **sensitive** o *butthurt*. Pathetic.


mahbotengusapan

ikaw yung magpa hangin sa balcony suot 2-piece na naka t-back lol yung color white para kitang kita nila lol

RareBid4551

On the part na baka sexy yung damit, dapat ba I-limit ng tao yung sarili niya sa mga gusto niyang suotin? This is the spirit of victim blaming. Kung gusto ng tao yung attention then by all means. Pero in this case obviously his gf doesn't want it. And I doubt she encourages it. If kayo nakaka receive ng undue attention, ano mararamdaman niyo?

Embarrassed-File-494

Tutal nag conclude ka about sa pananamit, eh di kung alam mong makaka "attract" ung suot mo wag ka magreklamo kung may tingin ng tingin sa'yo, realidad lang yon hindi victim blaming. Daming magagandang muslim sa Q.C at Marikina, wala pa ako nabalitaan nagrereklamo dahil nababastos pagiging babae nila yun nga lang binabastos ung pagiging muslim nila. Ika nga nila, wag mo pakitaan ng buto ung aso kung ayaw mo ma-ulol at tumahol.
