A man almost clashed with the authorities after he tried to violate the community quarantine being implemented by the government.
On Sunday, netizen Justin Erns Leysa posted a video showing a man arguing with two soldiers about the community quarantine.
It can be heard that the man was shouting at the cops and even revealed what religion he belongs to.
“Iglesia ni Cristo ako, pakita ko sayo? Iglesia ni Cristo ako taga saan ka?” the man told the cops while pointing his fingers at them.
The authorities suspected that the man was very drunk despite the advice from the government to avoid drinking alcohol amid the community quarantine.
“Ang ginagawa ay pangkahalataang sa tao, umuwi ka na!” the soldier told the man.
Fortunately, the man listened to the authorities’ request to travel back home without forcing him.
He also seems suddenly changed his attitude and apologized to the soldiers.
A member of Iglesia ni Cristo gave their comment on the video, apologizing to the netizens for the action of their alleged member.
“Bilang isang kaanib din ng INC. Humihingi ako ng paumanhin sa gnawa ng tao to. Hindi itotolerate ng sambahan yung mga ganitong taong ganito. Hindi lahat ng kaanib ganito. Pasensya na. Ingat kayo lage,” netizen Glenmore Fabros said.
Other netizens also urged the people to be cooperative with the authorities because they only wanted them to be safe from getting infected by COVID-19.
“Intindihin nyo rin sana ang sitwasyon nila tyo nasa bahay lang safe pero nag pupumilit pang lumagay sa alanganin, sila dahil kailangan sumunod sa utos kaya sila andyan kahit na alam nila na malalagay sila sa alanganin! May mga pamilya den sila na nag aalala kya sana pumirmis na lang tyo sa bahay at sigurado makakatulong pa tyo!” Allan Catinding commented.
“Hirap sa ating mga pinoy matitigas ulo ung mga sundalo nagsasakripisyo imbis na pamilya nila kasama nila ngayon nagbabantay sila sa mga pasaway na pinoy simpleng utos lng na magstay sa bahay gano ba kahirap na maging save ng isang bwan!!” netizen Rikazikuta Ilabu remarked.
