Shaina Magdayao (Shirley) plays the character of a woman who accidentally killed her perverted stalker, portrayed by Jhong Hilario (Erwin), in “Ipaglaban Mo” this Saturday (June 21).
Erwin was an earnest suitor of Shirley. Despite Shirley’s overt rejections, Erwin remained persistent until his love for Shirley turned into an obsession. Erwin became so desperate that he even climbed up her house through her bedroom window and attempted to rape her. He would also follow her wherever she goes.
Traumatized, Shirley decided to bring a knife to protect herself just in case Erwin would try to harass her again.
One day, Erwin sat beside her at a church service, and then touched her in her private parts. That incident provoked Shirley to threaten Erwin with her knife. However, Erwin forcibly grabbed the knife from her, and Shirley accidentally stabbed him in the neck.
Erwin’s mother filed charges against Shirley for her son’s death. How would Shirley fight for her rights as an abused woman? If the court decides against her, would she be given a lighter punishment?
Also joining the cast in this week’s episode titled “Ako Ang Biktima” and directed by Richard Arellano are William Lorenzo, Gileth Sandico, Gigi Locsin, and Mimi Orara.
