Bernadette Alejandro, 25, a teacher by profession, went to the Makati City police yesterday accompanied by her father and sister Rachel.
She said her former boyfriend Xavier Villa Abrilla, 26, went into her residence in 24-A Ipil Road, South Forbes Park at around 9 a.m. yesterday.
She noted that Abrilla, who was her boyfriend for six years, had sent her numerous text messages threatening to shoot and kill her if she would refuse to reconcile with him.
Alejandro finally took the threats seriously only yesterday after Abrilla told her that he would go to her house. She alerted Forbes Park security guards and even gave them Abrilla’s picture.
Abrilla, however, was still able to barge into Alejandro’s house and attempted to harm her in front of her friends. He was immediately apprehended and is now detained at the Makati City police headquarters. – Marvin Sy
