Dustin Yu opened up about his traumatic experience while riding the MRT four years ago.

According to a report from PEP, the Kapuso actor experienced sexual harassment on the train when he was 18.

Dustin recalled it was his first time riding the MRT back then, and he was bound to Ortigas to go to his now ex-girlfriend.

“Tapos parang may pulis na, pulis talaga, naka-uniform. Pinasok niya yung kamay niya sa bulsa ko,” Dustin told PEP during the “Shake Rattle & Roll Extreme” premiere night.

“So ako, nanginig kasi ako. Kasi parang pulis ka, tapos bata pa ako,]talagang kinapa-kapa niya yung private part ko,” he added.

The actor said it took him a long time to recover from that traumatic experience and that being in showbiz has helped him.

Dustin stars in the movie “Shake Rattle & Roll Extreme” together with Angel Guardian, Paul Salas, Elle Villanueva, and Bryce Eusebio, among others.
