     “Bago po dumating yung mga underwear po, nagtext po siya sakin. ‘O andiyan na yung salungki mo at salungso mo. Nandito pa po yung text niya sakin, hindi ko pa po binubura. 'Di ko po ineexpect na sasabihin niya yun,” she said.

     “Before the underwear arrived, he texted me. ‘Oh here is your panty and your bra. His text to me is still here, I haven't erased it yet. I didn't expect that he would say that,” she said.

     Nalasahan ko ang dugo sa bibig ko ngunit hindi ito nagpatigil sa kanya. Sabik niyang hinawakan ang short ko pati na ang aking salungki pababa sa aking hita.

     I tasted the blood in my mouth but this did not stop him. He was eager to hold my shorts as well as my panties downward to my thigh.
