ONE of the Filipino transgenders who became involved in the viral brawl with Thai ladyboys in Bangkok arrived in Manila Friday noon.

Transgender Filipino “Sabrina” Castro arrives with two friends at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Friday, March 8, 2024. The trio insisted they had been harassed, without provocation, by Thai ladyboys until the conflict erupted in a brawl that sent everyone to the police station.

The trans Pinay, who wants only to be identified as “Sabrina” Castro, spoke to BusinessMirror upon arrival at the airport, and insisted it was the Thai transgender group who instigated the melee. Castro claimed their group of three had been on the receiving end of harassment days before the incident.Ilang araw na po nila kami dinarag-daragan hindi lang sa labas ng hotel. Sa labas din po, kung saan nila kami abutanCastro said they have been “respectful” of the Thai culture and have been used to being taunted even when they were in the Philippines.Alam po namin na di kami taga doon, kaya nirerespeto po namin.

Another Filipino transgender was hurt, but dropped the charges filed against the Thai aggressor after they reached an amicable settlement.
