because he works out in a gym sometimes. He acts like he can beat all of
us smaller than him. We are actually terrified by his presence
because of his unpleasant behavior.
Q15: Why do you say unpleasant behavior?

suddenly interrupts shouting at us and telling us to shut our mouths. He then
threatens us that if we are taking about him, we surely would get a prize from
him.
Q16: What prize would this be?

other incident of punching you?

Internet Café, I saw Ryan came out from the Cyber Cafe Internet. He ran towards
me and punched me twice hitting on the right shoulder thus causing pain on it.
Q19: When he punched you, what did you do?
A19: I tried to retaliate after he punched me. However, he grabbed my arms
and twisted it over my back and he said in tagalog words to quote “Ano lalaban
ka?!. Then he punched me again on my right portion of the body and kicked
