BELA PADILLA had a scary time when a stalker tried to get into the condo where she’s staying a couple of nights ago. She went to the fiscal’s office in Mandaluyong to file a case of unjust vexation and also had it blottered.
She said was having dinner in her condo unit when the guard in their building informed her that a man who claims to be a classmate of hers in Davao wants to enter and visit her.
She told the guard she never studied in Davao and the man said he’s actually her boyfriend.
The man still insisted on entering and seeing so Bela talked to the chief of security and told them to call their Barangay Wack Wack as she’s so scared and she doesn’t know the man at all.
Even her neighbors got alarmed and asked her to stay in their unit for safety. It took sometime before the stalker and his companions were convinced to leave.
Bela said the man messages to her through her hair stylist every night.
“Ang dami niyang sinasabi,” she says in a TV interview. “Alam niya kung saan ako nagte-taping. Alam niya kung saan ako pumupunta. And pinipilit niya talaga na boyfriend ko siya. So nakaka-freak out.”
Bela has every reason to get scared. In the U.S., they take stalking seriously as there have been many cases of women being physically harmed by their stalkers. It’s considered a criminal case so when someone is stalking you, report it to the police immediately.
We advise Bela to watch some current flicks on Netflix about stalking so she can get an idea on what to do, like "Unsane", “The Occupant”, “You Get Me”, “Secret Obsession”, “One Hour Foto” and the series “You”.
