Happened on Sept 27 2014 (Sat) 5:24 PM * corner 5th & 30th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig
Here’s what happened before this kickboxing incident:
The English men’s names are Sam & Chris, two of the nicest people I’ve known in the city. Sam is a resident of BGC & Chris is his best friend who’s here for vacation.
Sam just wished to use his skateboard and have fun that Saturday Afternoon | Sept 27. They initially played in front of Banana Republic along fifth avenue, two lady police women approached them and nicely told them that they can’t use the board in that area and they instructed them to play at the park instead, which they did.
At the park, a lady marshal | the one shown in the video with a proud look at 1:16 stopped them rudely unlike the police women. As per Sam’s sharing, in their country they look up to their police officers as kings, they respected them and honour them, so their words were gold. So between the police women & the marshals, they believed the words of the police. They insisted to the marshal that they were told that it is okey to skate in that area and that’s where the argument began.
Marshal called for back-up and two Big Marshals arrived, confiscated the skate board, in Sam’s mind he just want to get the skateboard and run off as he was already scared, which he successfully did. Then new set of reinforcements arrive and this video is what happened next. They got caught.
Given, that the marshals’ were right that it is indeed prohibited to skate although ironically, to play IN A PARK, does it have to end this way? Where’s the maximum tolerance ruling? Oh maybe this marshals have a different code.
We don’t need to be an investigator to figure out that there is something wrong here, they already got him but still the marshals had a grand time I guess showing off their kickboxing skills.
To make it even worse, Sam, with a bruised face and a broken rib and Chris were arrested for being charged with PHYSICAL INJURY by two of this wonderful marshals. Really clever and wise move. They got detained that very night.
Our experience with the investigating team made the night even worse. Few CLOSED DOOR briefings with the complainants (the marshals) and the police happened that night investigator needed to ask what happened, we were waiting for our turn to be asked about our side but it never came.
“Dito ko naintindihan, kawawa ka talaga kapag wala kang kakilala. Kahit ikaw na ang agrabyado, kayang kaya nilang palabasin na ikaw ang masama. I realized, ang bigat pala kapag ikaw na ang nasa ganitong sitwasyon.”
(Rough translation: I don’t understand. It really is such a pity if you don’t know anyone. Even if you were taken advantage of, they can easily twist the story to show that it was you who have done something wrong. I realized how hard it can be if you were in that situation.)
For some reason they weren’t allowed to file a counter-charge that very night and we weren’t able to do anything to prevent them from detaining the two. Where in fact, Sam & Chris, were supposed to be the one filing that PHYSICAL INJURY CASE. If there’s any lawyer reading this we would really appreciate your advice sirs and madams.
Sam is currently confined in St. Lukes & Chris is being held at Taguig Police Station just beside City hall of Taguig as suspects.
You may verify the validity of this story, if this video is still not enough..
If you have the access kindly get hold of the CCTV footage from 3-5pm along Fifth Avenue and at 28th street corner 7th street and their sworn statement at BGC police station.
Kindly share until it gets to the right authorities, they’re being held for 4 days now.
They don’t have much friends here.
They don’t know what to do.
They badly need our help.

I do find the skateboarders around BGC annoying. I almost got run over with a skateboard by a group of unruly jejemon looking teens. I 've never encountered decent looking skateboarders in BGC. I guess matagal na may animosity BGC guards with skateboarders.
Handling them roughly was wrong though. They are not criminals naman.

Dapat kinausap muna, kung hinde pwede magskateboard - sabihin nila ng maayos.. Ang hirap kase sa kanila, gusto agad kunin tapos kapag pumalag pagtutulungan..
I hope they would sue the BGC guards for unlawful arrest..

September 30th, 2014 11:58 PM #7The security agency is probably owned by someone high up the food chain, possibly a general/ex general or even with close ties to the govt. so expect that their employees have little to be afraid of.
Good option nga yung to contact their embassy for assistance.

Somehow I have respect for BGC marshalls/police. I've heard several apprehension stories and NONE of them accepted a bribe. I'm not proud of what I did but I experienced this myself. Mali lang siguro talaga yung protocol but something must have triggered talaga.

Skateboarders kamo. Nakow titigas ng mga ulo nyan tapos mga puti pa, entitled ang mga yan. Wag kayong mag taka kung ba't umabot sa ganyan ang nangyari.
