^I'd imagine it was filmed and uploaded as entertainment same as any random spectacle.. The person with the camera was merely an opportunist, I doubt there was much in the way of premeditation.

Aren't you also jumping to conclusions? The person who took the video might have only had the opportunity to take a video of the incident as it occurred since the girl was drawing attention to herself. To ascribe malicious intent would presume that the videotaker intentionally left out the prior scenes when what's more likely to be the case is that he/she only started recording when the girl started making a scene.

In any case I believe that true test of character is in how people deal with being offended by others. Some people laugh it off, but others react in a really embarrassing way like in this case. Being slighted is no excuse for acting the way she did. She couldve handled it much better and still got her point across.

I wouldn't whip out my phone to videotape someone who wasn't acting on her best behavior so the world can crucify her. Moreover, I wouldn't berate someone in public so someone who wants his 15 seconds of fame can have his time in the spotlight.

Granted the woman did not act morally upright. There are proper channels, yadda, yadda. My simple point was she just didn't act like that if she wasn't provoked in the first place. It's not an excuse to act like a belligerent warfreak in public but give the woman a break. She felt slighted because the guard allegedly grabbed her arm and made faces at her and asked her, "Anong problema mo?" Tell me, isn't that rude, as well?

The taking of the video may not have been premeditated but to upload it is yes, opportunistic. And pathetic.

It's sad. I wouldn't videotape a woman disagreeing with a security guard in public and upload it the same way I wouldn't videotape and upload a video of a couple fighting in public.

We are all publishers now thanks to the light-speed advances in communication technology. This is why Anonymous have got involved in the saga, asking that netizens cool it with the name calling, threats etc... because without some level of self-control we are inviting the long and sinister arm of government.

It DOES have malicious intent. When someone makes a scene, as passersby, we walk away OR we politely suggest the disagreeing parties talk it out somewhere private. WE DON'T TAKE A VIDEO OF IT AND UPLOAD IT ONLINE.

I think she got what she wanted -- look at the video again. She was yelling at the guard but she was also screaming "Hey, people, look at me! I'm here making a show. Watch me berate this lowlife of a guard" She screamed for attention and she got what she asked for. Pero I also think wa niya ma-anticipate that her little charade would end up in YouTube.

The uploading was just an extra -- the person who took the video uploaded it in the net because he can. Sucks to be her right now.

Cliches like "true test of character" and etc are very subjective . Just like people dealing with grief and loss , I'm sure one would expect an immediate family will cry as a typical grieving process and whoever doesn't cry aren't sorry for the loss . But any informed individual would say that people deal those stuff differently . Same situation for the "Amalayer"-girl .

I know it would've been great if she bawled in an emotional manner cuz that's what you guys are into . Either way , you all will humiliate her anyways on the internet for standing for herself and "making a scene" on an LRT station . Just like Carrie Prejean during the Miss USA 2009 -- regardless her answer to the question , she was going to get killed . No matter how the Amalayer-girl could've handled it even if she wasn't raising her voice and not doing a "bitchy" body language , she was going get humiliated online based by the moment she was caught on camera "making a scene" .

Holy shit. Will you look at that -- she refused to put her bag in the X-Ray machine. I say she's lucky -- some people get detained for that considering the constant terrorist/bombing threats we have in our mass transportation facilities. tsk tsk tsk.
