The two individuals who went viral on social media due to their involvement in a commotion at the La Liga de Muntinlupa Basketball Tournament last week faced the wrath of Mayor Ruffy Biazon.
It can be recalled that last July 5, a supposed fun and peaceful basketball game became chaotic after several audiences rushed to the referee who was accused of making wrong calls during the game.
The footage even showed that some individuals threw monoblock chairs at the referee.
“Hindi ito basta simpleng init ng ulo sa basketball, nalagay sa alanganin ang kapayapaan at kaayusan sa ating lungsod. Merong nambato ng silya, may sumugod, may nagtangkang manakit. Hindi natin palalampasin ito at may kalalagyan din sila sa batas,” said Biazon.
On July 9, Biazon successfully traced the two men who threw a chair at the referee to give them an unforgettable lesson.
“Pinangaralan ko ang dalawang kabataan sa nagawa nila. Sabi ko magbago na sila at huwag magpapadala sa init ng ulo. Walang saysay ang magmatapang lalo na kung biglang nakatapat sila ng mas matapang o halang ang bituka. Sila lang din ang pwede mapahamak,” said Biazon.
He also asked them to personally apologize to the organizing committee of the event.
To make them accountable for what they did, Biazon asked them to do community service.
“Sinabihan ko din sila na humingi ng tawad sa organizing committee at sa officials. Pinagagawa ko din sila ng community service bilang parusa at pagtitika nila sa mga Muntinlupeño sa nagawa nilang karahasan,” he said.
