Hontiveros to Help Woman With “Ulam” at Helmet in Filing Cyberbullying Complaint vs Bashers (Video)

A female motorist was recently apprehended by MMDA enforcer for not wearing her helmet, and instead she used it as a basket for her viand (ulam). However, she cursed at him and hit him a couple of times. And because she was heavily criticized on Facebook, she now plans to sue her bashers, and Senator Risa Hontiveros vowed to help her.

First uploaded at Gadget Addict Facebook page on Sunday, February 11, the viral video shows a man and woman riding a motorcycle was stopped by MMDA officers at Visayas Avenue, Quezon City. The man, who was driving the motorcycle was wearing his helmet, while the woman was holding her helmet instead of using it as a protection gear.

According to the post, another team of MMDA enforcers have already stopped the couple at Road 3 around 15 minutes ago, and issued them a traffic ticket for the same violation. But this time, the woman got angry and cursed at one enforcer when they explained to her the complaints process. She thought that he was laughing at her.
