Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson does not want
this to go unnoticed by the Bureau of Immigration (BI).
Lacson is referring to the incident which
happened in a private village in Makati city where an ‘arrogant’ foreign
national who threw curses to a police officer enforcing the quarantine rules.
“The
Bureau of Immigration may have to look into the matter. If a deportation
proceeding is in order, they should act swiftly and decisively,” Lacson said in
a statement.

“Arrogance
has no place in our country – especially so in a situation where either all of
us win, or all of us lose to the COVID-19 threat,” he added
The police officer attempted to arrest Mr. Javier Salvador Parra in front of his yard in a private subdivision in Makati city after a heated argument over the violation of the prevailing quarantine rules of the foreign national’s housemaid.
The
police officer reportedly wanted to fine Parra’s house helper P1,000 for
watering the plants without wearing a face mask.
Under Makati City Ordinance No. 2020-089, anyone not wearing a face mask in public will be P1,000 for a first offense, P3,000 for a second offense, and P5,000 and/or imprisonment of six months for a third offense.
A heated
arguement between Parra and the police officer later followed.
A video recorded by Parra’s wife showed the police
officer tackling Parra in the ground in order to arrest him, however the
foreigner went inside his house to evade arrest.
“During these trying times, the Philippine
National Police (PNP) has the unenviable task of implementing an Enhanced
Community Quarantine, without fear or favor. For the most part, our policemen
deserve kudos for doing their jobs,” Lacson, a former PNP chief, went on.
“Such is the case of police officers who
arrested a foreigner in Makati City, after he challenged their authority with
an arrogant and demeaning behavior,” he added.
