The Makati City Police on Monday (June 29) filed charges against actor KC Montero, his wife, and 119 others for violating Republic Act (RA) No. 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act, and Article 151 of the Revised Penal Code on resistance and disobedience to a person in authority.
Montero, his wife, and 119 others were apprehended by policemen for violating social distancing at a bar in Makati City on Sunday night.“For violating social distancing, we will file RA 11332, and Article 151 of the Revised Penal Code for disobeying a person in authority,” Major Gideon Ines Jr., Makati Police Investigation chief, said.
“The prosecutor had to go here, because there are so many of them. It will take too long if we will transport them one by one to court,” Ines explained. “They were detained at the gym, because there are so many of them. They can’t practice social distancing at our detention cells.”The Investigation Unit chief warned others not to commit the same mistake, saying “no one is above the law.”
Around 6 p.m. on Sunday, a team of policemen led by Ines raided the Skye Bar on the 18th floor of M1 Tower in Salcedo Village, Makati.
