“Mao ni ang karsada nga perti ka famous kaayo karon, nga nakadisturbo ni namo, nga instant tourist attraction, nga dili na gyod mi katalug kay maglabay-labay diri bahisbahis, magsyagetsyaget. Hain na among proteksyon karon? Diri. Kay Tungod lang anang cyberbullying, ha, cyberbully. Diri ang insidente,” said Maria.
