MANILA, Philippines — Jealousy, they say, is like a green-eyed monster that rears its ugly head.
But for this man, a resident of Barangay Tatalon in Quezon City, who caught his wife with her lover, on Wednesday night, jealousy did not unleash a green-eyed monster but rather a scared rabbit who ran and jumped into a nearby river that carried him all he way into a drainage system where he was trapped and rescued the next day by the city's Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office personnel.
Barangay Tatalon Chairman Emmanuel del Mundo later said that the "jealous" husband told him that he panicked when his wife's lover chased him and he decided to flee instead of confronting him..
