A FEMALE tourist complained that  she was almost raped by a habal-habal (motorcycle-for-hire) driver by the beach in sitio Basdaku,  Moalboal town last Tuesday.

The  24-year-old woman from Cebu City  was  reading a book in a tent by the shore in White Beach  when the  driver, identified as  Loue Pocong, approached her and engaged her in  conversation.

The woman said she excused herself to go to the bathroom in the public beach. The  man barged inside  and started    touching her body.

She said the   driver pushed her head into the wall and repeatedly punched her in the belly.  A caretaker of a nearby resort noticed the commotion and rushed to her aid.  Pocong fled but was identified by the bicylce he left nearby, said  SPO3 Stewart Bayang.

Police said tourists  who spend time alone in the beach should take precautions especially females.
