Kapamilya actress Angelica Panganiban asked her online followers for help over an alleged harassment incident involving her family last November 7.
In a series of Twitter posts, Panganiban said her sister, brother-in-law and niece went to Paris and was charged by their taxi driver €450 or about Php25,000.
The ride was from the airport to their hotel accommodation near the Eiffel tower.
“So hindi po ginawa ng kapatid ko dahil alam niyang sobra sobra ang singil sa kanila,” she said. “Sinigaw sigawan niya ate ko, kuya ko at pamangkin. Hinampas niya kamay ng ate ko dahil kinunan niya ng picture. Natatakot sila ngayon dahil alam nung driver kung saan sila nakatira,” Angelica said in a tweet.
Angelica said that her family had a difficult time in reporting the incident because they could not speak french.
“Sinigaw sigawan niya ate ko, kuya ko at pamangkin mo. Hinampas niya kamay ng ate ko dahil kinunan niya ng picture. Natatakot sila ngayon dahil alam nung driver kung saan sila nakatira,” she said.
She also posted photos of the driver and his car service company.
“Pumayag yung driver na mag-settle sa 100euros and $60 dahil yun na lang laman ng wallet nilang tatlo. Tapos hinagis yung pera ng pamilya ko sa kalsada,” she said.
Angelica then said that a lot of Filipinos have helped her family after the incident.
Even Foreign Affairs Secretary Teddy Boy Locsin Junior said that the DFA in Paris will be willing to assist the actress’ family.
