The shirtless man who was issued with a violation ticket while mixing cement in Mandaluyong City is now the poster of the reform in the implementation of local ordinances in Metro Manila under the Safer Cities Initiative.

And he better prepare this early for an unexpected visitor in his house in Barangay Addition Hills—no less than Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla who said he will personally apologize over the incident. (Video courtesy of DILG Philippines | FB)

00:00We have a few matters to discuss.
00:04Unang-unang may nakita akong feedback sa social media
00:08na may umangal taga Barangay Addition Hills
00:13na nagahalo lang ng simento at siya'y inaresto.
00:18Ako ba'y humihingi ng paumanhin
00:20at pupuntahan ko po siya sa mga susunod na araw
00:24at nasabihin ko na ako na po ang hingin ng paumanhin.
00:29It was my fault that I did not give clearer instructions
00:34on how to do the Safer Cities Initiative.
00:38Nagkulang po ako ron.
00:40Ang gusto ko lang po, ang tanging hangaring ko
00:42ay patahimikin yung mga kalye.
00:45Ngunit, dahil sa kakulangan ng aking paliwanag
00:49ay kahit sino nalang basta walang t-shirt ay siyang dinampot.
00:54Mali po yun. Nagkamali po kami ron
00:57and I take full responsibility.
00:59I will make amends and I will make sure na mag-usap po kami
01:03para maklaro ko po ito.
01:06Nevertheless, the Safer Cities Initiative
01:09has begun and it will progress.
01:12It will progress to other forms of making the city safer
01:16which I will announce in the next few weeks
01:19as we perfect this.
01:20Mind you,
01:22we will make a study
01:23pagdating po ng katapusan ng Abril.
01:26Titignan po namin ang focus crimes
01:28of April 2025, 2024
01:31kumpara sa 2026.
01:33So far,
01:34ang report ng aking mga regional directors
01:36and district directors
01:38ay malaki na po ang binaba
01:40ng krimen ng eight focus crimes
01:42sa Metro Manila
01:43at sa ibang mga lugar.
01:45We expect to do more
01:47and we expect it to be better
01:48but don't expect it to be perfect.
01:51Again,
01:52humingi ako ng paumanhin
01:53dun sa
01:54gana sa
01:56naapektoan dun sa Addition Hills.
01:58Pupunta ako pa siya personal
