WHEN someone uploaded the YouTube video showing an angry woman allegedly harassing a female security guard at LRT-2 Santolan, it became viral on the same day.

The woman was supposed to have refused having her bag searched and shouted at the security guard for treating her as a criminal. She repeatedly shouted at the guard, “I’m a liar? [So you’re saying] I’m a liar?” (Later on her inveighing was shortened to and parodied on social network as “Amalayer”).

The woman was identified as Paula Jaime Salvosa, and just like Robert Blair Carabuena, who assaulted a Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) officer for calling his attention for a traffic violation he had committed, she gained instant infamy and became a victim of severe cyberbullying.

FOR THE second time, a Lady Trackster walked away with the gold medal in the qualifying leg of the 36th National Milo Marathon at Puerto Princesa City in Palawan.

Jila Dela Cruz bested a pool of 6,000 runners last Sept. 22, recording her second consecutive championship in the 21k run.

The 18-year-old Trackster finished the race in 1:35:59, a few ticks away from second-placer Marichel Maestro who had 1:47:00.

The victory booked her a ticket to the national finals against 18 leg winners from 17 different cities at the MOA grounds in Pasay city on Dec. 9. Hedrix Ar-ar C. Caballe
