Tim Yap, KC Concepcion, and other participants have paid penalties for violating health protocols at Yap's birthday party, held at The Manor at Camp John Hay in Baguio City on January 17.
In a Facebook post on Friday, January 29, the Baguio City Public Information Office said that 33 participants including Yap, Concepcion, and Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong's wife Arlene have each paid fines of P1,000 for violating Baguio's Face Mask Ordinance, and P500 for violating the city's Physical Distancing Ordinance.
The venue itself also paid a penalty of P9,000 – P1,000 for violating the Face Mask Ordinance, P3,000 for violating the Physical Distancing Ordinance, and P5,000 for violating the city's ordinance for New Normal Operations for Business Establishments. According to the Baguio PIO, The Manor's general manager Ramon Cabrera also submitted a commitment to follow health protocols.after videos from the party circulated online.
The videos showed guests dancing closely together without masks or face shields. Aside from Concepcion, the event was attended by several celebrities, as well as Mayor Magalong, who is also the country's contact tracing czar.from his contact tracing post, though it was rejected by Malacañang. –
So should they be imprisoned when other officials get the previledge of being exempted of the law? Hahaha. So ironic. Just a thought.
In Toronto there’s a $10,000 fine for hosting an event even at your own house and $850 each guest timyap magalong
Do you think this is fair? Tang’na!
No, treatment should be same jail time, higher fine with bail.
No, I don't. However, if that's what the ordinance says, then it's the right amount.
huy rappler! kailangan pa ba tanong yan. mahal pa sa 1.5k meryenda ni tim yap dyan.
So ano yung basehan ng pagpakulong dun sa ibang tao. Dahil ba hindi sila nakabayad ng 1500?
1500 is not enough iba talaga pag mayaman, sila na yung mga number 1 violators tapos pinaka mababa pa ang fine. Partida wala pang kulong yan di gaya nung mga jeepney drivers at nag titinda ng isda.
Nahiya ako kina Tatay Elmer, Piston 6, Cebu 8, at iba pang pinoy na hinuli, nagmulta at may tadyak pang kasama... Iba talaga. Nahihiya talaga ako officialTIMYAP
Multa lang? Bakit di ikukulong? Kung mahirap ka e malamang wala nang usapan dahil diretso ka sa kulungan!
Nope!!!
they pay 1,500 fine with 15M worth of publicity . brilliant ! that is what we called branding or marketing . mapagusapan lng so they will stay relevant still.
Barya Barya lang sa kanila...
Inequality at its finest!
move on..
What about SINAS mananita party LOL pnppio the joke is on you guys!
Hindi. Isang loadan lang yan sa Starbucks siszt aminahpungutan
Naol tag 1500 😏
From the pictures, it looks like a lame party. What’s with the stupid costumes? They all look stupid.
Instead of fine, they should've done community service
Barya lang yan sa kanila.
yes thats enough baka mamulubi ang mga yan kung mas malaki🤬
uulit pa yan mga yan!!
Dapat sa mga yan ikulong, alam nila kayang kaya nila lumabag, kahit araw araw mag party mga yan kayang kaya nila magbayad multa. Ipromote daw Baguio? Bakit di pa ba sikat lugar nila? Magalong resign as mayor dapat.
Gawing contact tracing czar si Yap.
Takte. Sana dito na lang nagpa party si yap. Malamig na rin ang klima dito sa mm noh.
Absolutely not! I’ve seen news of ordinary people being jailed because of the same violation. Unfair yan
A former CEO of DEUTSCHE BANK once described this as peanuts. For high earners the penalty is laughable. They pay it out of their petty cash!
In my opinion, ipatupad kung ano ang dapat n parusa. kung multa lng ang hinihingi ng batas, so be it. pero kung may exemptions n gnwa dahil mayor o celebrity, then that is not fair.
yung nagparty dito sa batangas pinasarado yung hotel na nagallow. haha
ako na ang magbabayad ng 1,500 sapakin ko lang yan
Another unpopular opinion: Yes, if that's what their city ordinance suggests. It does seem unfair for those offenders/non-offenders who were wrongly apprehended (others, violently), BUT those were failures of authorities of d city where those abuses happened & not of Magalong's.
No it should be higher at least 10,000 each. They’re there not out of necessity- they’re out there to party. So ....
1500 US dollars dapat!
1500 is a joke.
In exchange for possibly killing people? NO. However, i think that the fine should be based on the income range of the offender.
put them in jail.
1500 is enough. What is not right is the abuse ordinary Filipinos receive when perceived to be violating protocol. Taas na nga ng multa may kulong at tadyak pa.
i'm not infavor for this! This is not enough. Maging unfair naman kayo. Kapag mahirap kulong agad, tapos pag artista warning lang meganon?
Sa mga mayayaman hindi pero s mga mahihirap sobra yan,ngunit ang batas dapat ay pantay2x wlang mayayaman o mahirap.
sampal sa ordinaryong Pinoy
Dapia sad oy para mutagam HAHA
Fine lang?
Bakit 1500? Sobrang bigat nman bakot hindi n lng palo s pwet o pitik s kamay para di n umulit? These people badly needs compassion becz they are rich and powerful... let them have a taste of Duterte Legacy of justice
Absolutely not! They should do jail time like the others who violated the rules.
A fine means legal for rich people.
