The incident involving motivational speaker Rendon Labador, businessman Rosmar Tan, and their colleagues in Team Malakas in a municipality in Coron has reached the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Palawan.
In his speech, Palawan Board Member Anton Alvarez pushed to declare Rendon, Rosmar, and other members of Team Malakas as undesirable visitors in the whole province.
According to him, Team Malakas took extreme actions by rushing to the municipal hall of Coron just because one of their employees published a negative opinion against them.
“Nadamay po ang buong munisipyo ang Coron sa aksyon ng iisang tao na hindi naman po dapat,” said Alvarez. “Ni-generalize po nila ang mga tao ng Coron ay masama,”
Additionally, Alvarez said that even the officials of Coron had already asked him to support the declaration of persona non-grata against the said social media personalities in the whole province to teach them a hard lesson.
“Gusto ko pong i-open sa ating mga kasamahan sa Sangguniang Panlalawigan na gawin po natin ito, dahil po sa aking personal na opinyon dapat po talaga maturuan ng leksyon ang mga panauhing ito,” he said.
“Masakit po sa damdamin, hindi po natin dapat palampasin ‘yon. Dapat ay matuto ang mga gumawa ng mga aksyon na ito.
“Let’s us discuss the possibility of also declaring the said personalities persona non-grata not just only in the municipality of Coron, but the whole province of Palawan,” he added.
Several members of the Sangguninang Panlalawigan already expressed their support for Alvarez’s appeal.
As of writing, Team Malakas has yet to respond to Alvarez’s plans.
