00:00Malacanang gave the protection to the people against any kind of harassment or bullying.
00:07This is followed by the arrest of the viral Russian-American vlogger Vitaly Zdorovetsky.
00:13Here is the report.
00:17Protect the people against any kind of harassment and bullying.
00:21This is what Malacanang gave after the viral Russian-American vlogger was arrested and deported to his country.
00:29According to the Presidential Communications Office, Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro,
00:34President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. was arrested for bullying and harassment of the Russian-American vlogger Vitaly Zdorovetsky.
00:41This is why he was immediately prosecuted by the PNP, CIDG, and the Bureau of Immigration.
00:48Castro insisted that this should serve as a lesson to other content creators, local people,
00:54and to remember that every right and obligation should be respected for the people and the country in question.
01:02Foreign nationals are welcome in the Philippines,
01:06but this does not mean that if they are welcome, they are also ready to be harassed.
01:14Filipinos are used to our laws.
01:19So this should also serve as a lesson.
01:21If you are a content creator, you should limit what is allowed.
01:28According to BI Deputy Spokesperson Melvin Mabulac,
01:31foreign content creators should respect the laws in the Philippines,
01:36even if it is an isolated case.
01:38What happened is also a big help to the people of the B.I. who know the reason or purpose of a foreigner's visit.
01:44It is possible that this month, a so-called vlogger will be deported.
01:47But this still depends on the process that the PNP will file a case against.
01:51The Philippines is also a favorite destination for foreign vloggers.
01:57And we have to ensure that if they come here, they should also have to be respectful
02:02and they have to follow the laws of our country.
02:05And that is also one of the recommendations that I have discussed.
02:09Making sure that those who come here are compliant with the conditions of the stay of a foreigner.
02:16Aside from the arrest of the vlogger who is now in the custody of the B.I.,
02:21he can also file a case of unjust vexation against the cameraman who is a well-known Filipino.
02:27Along with the recent deportation, the vlogger can also be considered a person of gratitude
02:32for what he did to harass and bully our countrymen.
