Celebrities including John Arcilla and Derek Ramsay have expressed their dismay over the viral video of a security guard kicking out a young sampaguita vendor from a mall establishment.

Arcilla shared the viral video on his Instagram page, describing it as saddening and questioning the guard’s action, which he said called for a “reprimand.”

ChocoVron Vice President Marissa Lourdes Yala told the Philippine News Agency on the sidelines of the US-PH 2024 Trade Mission Conference at The Manila Hotel on Friday, October 18, that the P500 million (US$8.75 million) expansion plan of the company will triple the capacity of its production facility in San Pedro, Laguna.

“Kung hindi miserable at hindi mahirap ang buhay ng bata, magtitinda kaya siya ng Sampaguita kung may iba siyang paraan ng pagkakakitaan? Wala naman siyang sinasaktang tao. Mahirap na nga ang buhay niya, papahirapin pa natin? Such a sad video to watch,” the veteran actor began his caption.

“Nag hahanap buhay yung bata. Bakit kailangan wasakin yung tinda niya? Hindi ko masisi ang bata kung bakit nagalit. Bakit may mga Guard o taong ganito? Sana may kunsiderasyon. When we are in authority and we use it to mistreat someone we outrank, what kind of person are we? Sana ay mabigyan ng tamang leksiyon ang Guard,” he continued.

In the comments section, Ramsay also weighed in on the video, saying that it is disheartening that no one tried to interfere with the situation, as he stressed that there’s a whole story that the viewers might not be aware of.

“It’s sad that nobody interfered and made an effort to help pacify the situation. Mas priority pa ang mag video kesa tumulong. Mahirap mag comment sa ganitong mga video. Hindi natin alam ang buong storya. May mali talaga sa guard, and I’m sure may mali din sa bata, but mali din ang gumawa ng video kesa tumulong. Nilagyan pa ng music na malungkot,” he wrote.

Actor Rocco Nacino also extended his sympathies to the girl vendor, writing, “Siguro kung nakiusap ng maayos ung guard, baka nakipagcooperate ung bata. Hindi lahat nadadaan sa galit.”

As the girl refused to leave the area, the guard was seen destroying the sampaguita garlands that the girl was selling. In response, the girl struck the guard several times with the broken garlands.

The video was met with mixed reactions from netizens; however, on Thursday morning, the management of SM Megamall dismissed the security guard involved in the incident, stressing that they were “sympathizing” with the young vendor.
