Yes po - Bagong lipat lang kami d2 sa OZ, no friends, no family. At me nakilala po kaming mag asawa pinoy, of course dahil sabik kami sa kakilala naging magka ibigan kami.
April 2014 namin sila nakilala and by May 2014 ng overnight smin ung Mr dahil umuwi si Mrs. then to make a long story short, we became friends for 1 yr and 2 months.
June 2015 ngkahiwalay na kami dahil me knya kanya ng sariling bahay.. First week of June nakatanggap ako ng mga email threats coming sa lalaki. Yun pala nglagay sya ng camera sa banyo namin w/o my consent. At yun ang ginamit nya for blackmailing.
So we filed a complain and seek help sa AFP and they helped us catch the culprit. Hanggang sa umattend na kami ng mga court hearing.. and last 21st of October ung naging sentencing.
It was a traumatic part on our end kasi he breached our trust and it was a disgusting experience na makakasalamuha pala namin ay isang pervert na ngpapangap na isang mabuting tao.
In the end ang naging hatol lang sa knya ay 2yrs good behavioral bond, 300 hrs unpaid community service. Although pasalamat nalang din kami at meron kaming AVO for 2yrs.
Ang nakakalungkot lang ay alam nmin before their planning to apply for a citizenship na.
I'm sharing this kind of information para maging babala na din sa mga taong madaling magtiwala dahil sadyang me mga taong mahilig manamantala.

You have my sympathy. Not only the trauma but yung time, effort, lost opportunity, etc. dahil sa pag administer ng kaso tapos yung lang. Napapansin ko lenient ang courts dito, hindi tulad sa US or sa atin criminal record na siguro 'to. I think nasa news recently na ginulpe yung isang homeless at parang good behavior bond din ang sentence. Should you go to social media (fb) to name and shame, that's probably another way, but you sacrifice your anonymity/privacy.

sobra naman nun...may sakit sa utak...well, lesson learned, although traumatic, sana wag pa rin kayong mawalan ng gana na tumulong sa kapwa kahit paano...
lenient talaga dito sa Oz, pansin ko rin...bihira ang nakukulong so to speak pero for sure malaki ang multa and/or community service...
btw whats AVO?
hayaan mo na lang un, karmahin na lang siya...

Salamat po sa concerns nyo.Maliit lang ang fine sa kanya $2,300 lang tpos pwede pa ung installment.
AVO - apprehended violence order, hindi nya kami pwede gambalain or lumapit samin 50 meters or else huhulihin ulit sya.
Gumawa pa sya ng fake FB account using my name & posted nude pictures of me for the world to see..
So sad lang kasi tinuring namin silang kapamilya lalo na ung mrs nya na naging close talaga ako..pero in the end sympre mas panig padin sya ki Bozo king. Yun na ata ang patutuhanan sa kasabihanh Love is BLIND.
I'm just gonna leave you guys a hint..
Taga Laguna ung lalaki 43 yrs old working sa Caringbah Blinds & Windows.
Si Mrs (40) working sa Fujitsu - Macquarie
Ayaw ko gamitin ang fb to put them on shame kasi me anak ako na pinoprotektahan.
Anyways..moving forward bahala na lang talaga si Lord sa kanila..Nakalusot man sya d2 sa lupa pero sa mata ng Dios..hindi.
Salamat sa inyo and prayers requested for them. Mas kailngan nila ang prayers.

Anyway, I had an experience with a crazy Filipina woman when I first came here 6 yrs ago. Don't want to write about it (tooo long) haha. I kinda lost trust in Filipinos for like 2 years. It was traumatising.
