ROXAS CITY, Capiz – A conductor of Ceres Bus Liner failed to report to work after he was accused of harassing a female passenger via text message.

Jojo (not his real name) did not show up at the Roxas City Integrated Transport Terminal in Pueblo de Panay, Brgy. Lawaan here in the past five days.

Earlier, 25-year-old “Juna” (also not her real name) reported to the Roxas City Police Station that Jojo allegedly sent her a malicious text saying “Kaulumol ka kag nami kagton, nami papulahon ang imo nga panit nga maputi.” (You’re irresistible and nice to bite, I’d like to turn your white skin red.”

Juna claimed that Jojo got her number via the contact tracing form she filled up during their trip.

Police are waiting for the bus management to respond to the complaint.

The woman said she is determined to file charges against the conductor.
