00:00Mandaluyong City Police said that the real student and not a syndicate is Sampaguita Vendor
00:06who went viral on social media after being beaten by a security guard of a mall.
00:12This is what Floyd Brenz wrote.
00:17Mandaluyong Police found the viral Sampaguita Vendor,
00:21a 22-year-old scholar who sells to help his family
00:26after their house was demolished in Quezon City.
00:30The Commission on Human Rights already talked to him for legal assistance
00:34but the family has yet to decide whether to file a complaint against the security guard or upload the video.
00:41Meanwhile, the PNP called the security guard and his agency to explain.
00:47It is possible that the security guard's license will be suspended and the agency will be punished
00:52if there is a lack of evidence.
00:55By next week, we will wait for the update.
00:57But definitely, if the security guard and our security agency do not appear,
01:04we can initiate the filing of an administrative complaint.
01:11The 22-year-old also clarified that he is not a member of a syndicate and he did not become aggressive.
01:17According to him, he sells Sampaguita to support his studies
01:22as a medical technology student and to help his family.
01:27Meanwhile, he temporarily stopped selling due to trauma and online bullying.
01:33He thanked those who helped, including the Department of Social Welfare and Development,
01:39and asked the security guard to forgive him for losing his job.
01:43However, he admitted that he was still afraid to meet him again.
01:47The vendor also praised those who provided financial and emotional support
01:52in the middle of his journey.
