A woman in Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte, allegedly jumped into the sea after her boyfriend refused to buy her milk tea, sparking a dramatic rescue mission caught on video.
The clip, shared by uploader Jeffrey Recentes Cabilin, quickly went viral, showing a man struggling to pull the woman back to safety as waves crashed against the seawall. Despite the challenges, the man—identified as the woman’s boyfriend—persisted in helping her until authorities arrived with a life jacket.
According to a News5 report, the woman was reportedly intoxicated at the time, possibly contributing to her reaction. The incident drew mixed reactions online, with some amused by what they saw as an extreme response over a simple craving, while others commended the boyfriend for not abandoning her despite the situation.
