Think your morning trips to the MRT are stressful? Just imagine how these early risers (or late sleepers?) felt when they saw a snake coiled around an MRT station handrail.
The slithering reptile was caught on camera by Facebook user Lloyd Vincent H. Romero who uploaded the now-viral video on Monday.
In his caption, he said that he had just gotten off work at 4:40am when he spotted the snake.
“A snake was coiled around the hand rails (sic) of the stairs and a guy was apparently bitten…” he said in Filipino.
The video now has more than 119,000 views, 1,500 shares, more than 1,000 comments, and more than 600 reactions.
In the video, the snake can be seen on the very top part of the staircase’s handrail. It was just hanging there, chillin’ like a villain, while a woman can be heard screaming in the background. “There’s a snake!” she exclaims in Filipino.
A man and woman talking in the background say that a man who was at the station earlier had been bitten by the snake.
A woman going up the stairs can also be seen running back down after seeing the snake. The animal just continued to slither and hiss like a boss.
While scary, other commuters didn’t seem that fazed, as Romero’s video shows at least two other people just standing there, taking their own photos of the animal.
According to Romero’s caption, the station was just about to open, which was why security guards couldn’t leave their posts in the ticket machines.
This is just the most recent story about a snake on the loose. Last month, a python was caught in front of a bus station in Taft Ave., Pasay City. Before that, in the same month, a snake was found in the Tacloban airport’s departure area.
Where are all these snakes headed?
