Talk Safety to Me



A few years back, Sandra Bullock’s big screen character, Gracie Hart in the film Miss Congeniality taught girls to S.I.N.G -- to go for the solar plexus, instep, nose and groin when attacked or assaulted.

According to Hart, targeting these body parts is crucial to defending one's self. Hitting those high notes with S.I.N.G could easily be done by any woman, said the police-turned-beauty queen for an undercover assignment. 

On May 22, Sex and Sensibilities.com shines the spotlight on a real life policewoman, Senior Police Officer 2 (SPO2) Helen dela Cruz of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Women and Children's Protection Center for "Talk Safety to Me", a talk on crime prevention. 

SASsy and multi-awarded policewoman, SPO 2  dela Cruz will give the lowdown on her detective work and share her thoughts on what women need to be aware of when it comes to their protection and safety.

Merited with Metrobank Foundation’s Country’s Outstanding Policemen in Service (COPS) award in 2011, dela Cruz’ work has aided immensely in the solving of various high profile cases that involve drugs and sexual assaults, among others.

Her talk will include practical safety tips, intimate partner violence, and the laws that are meant to protect women, all the things a SASsy girl should have in her arsenal of protection tools along with her favorite pair of stilettos. 

"Talk Safety to Me" is a FREE talk brought to you by Sex and Sensibilties.com together with co.Lab, and in partnership with the Philippine National Police. It will be on May 22 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at co.lab located on the 4th Floor, Optima Building, Salcedo Street, Legaspi Village, Makati.
