A woman’s rage unleashed as her debt is collected
DEBT DILEMMA – A man attempted to collect an overdue debt from a woman, and this caused her to become extremely angry.
In the Philippines, debt collection is a sensitive issue that often evokes strong emotions, such as anger. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, many Filipinos face financial difficulties and may resort to borrowing as a last option to meet urgent financial needs. When they are unable to repay their debts as agreed, they may feel frustrated and helpless.
Secondly, debt collection practices in the Philippines can be aggressive and intimidating, with debt collectors using harassment, threats, or public shaming to pressure borrowers. These tactics can leave borrowers feeling humiliated and disrespected, triggering anger. Additionally, the cultural value of “hiya” or shame in Filipino society can lead to anger as borrowers fear losing face in front of their family and community.
Lastly, the lack of financial literacy and awareness about debt management can result in frustration and anger when borrowers do not fully understand loan terms and conditions or how to navigate debt repayment complexities, leading to a sense of injustice.
Speaking of which, a video of a woman becoming enraged at a man who attempted to collect money she owed him has piqued the interest of netizens. According to the video, the woman owed money to the man, and he has been attempting to collect it for three months.
The video which was uploaded by a certain Moso Meliton was accompanied by the caption: “Hirap talaga guys pag maningil Tayo. Ako pa Ang Mali!”
His video went viral with over 2 million views as of posting. Some netizens expressed sympathy for his situation, claiming that it is difficult to collect debts because borrowers are prone to becoming irate. Here are the comments of some netizens.
