00:00So this is what I was saying earlier. Let's go back to our topic about the complaints
00:10regarding the Watawata Festival. Question number one, attorney, how did the perverts
00:16like those who have gadgets that got wet and damaged, who will answer this? Well, a party
00:23is not an excuse to damage things and hurt other people. And there's a problem,
00:29if what you're thinking is okay, that damage and hurt is in the name of a party and in the name of a saint.
00:37So those who are damaged and hurt need to be answered in the name of the Watawata Festival.
00:44There are possible cases for physical injuries, liability for damage to property, and depending
00:50on what will happen, cases like unjust vexation under the revised penal code.
00:55In addition, remember, not only is our regular law applicable here, the government of San Juan
01:02itself has an ordinance to protect people from public and private vehicles, and those who
01:09just want to work on that day. So according to City Ordinance No. 51, Series of 2018,
01:16the following are prohibited. First, the use of polluted water, pumping of water, water
01:23from plastic bottles or glass containers, and other materials that may be harmful to people.
01:30Second, the use of public and private vehicles to pump water to passers-by.
01:37Threatening or hurting individuals, driving cars, riding public utility vehicles or PUVs
01:46like jeepneys and buses to pour water on passers-by.
01:50And selling, buying, and drinking alcohol from 12am to 3pm on June 24 every year.
01:57So the victims are facing the following penalties.
02:01First offense, fine of P2,500 and one day of community service.
02:06If it's the second offense, fine of P3,500 and three days of community service.
02:12If it's the third offense, fine of P5,000 and one to six days of detention.
02:17So you can be charged under the revised penal code and under that ordinance.
02:23But if I'm the one you're going to ask, there should be more penalties under that ordinance.
02:31No one is afraid of community service. And is there really a community service?
02:36Let's ask.
02:37Second question.
02:38Attorney, what if you used muriatic acid to pump water?
02:44What will happen here?
02:46Sorry, but we cannot help you.
02:48It's like you have a lot of muriatic acid ready to pump.
02:54First of all, is there really no other route you can take if you know you're going to get wet?
03:00Well, the rider is facing physical injuries.
03:04We cannot condone or stop this kind of behavior.
03:09The penalty for physical injuries that he might face,
03:13it can be reduced to one to thirty days if it's very slight.
03:19And he doesn't need medical attendance in his area.
03:23If it's a hospital, for one to nine days, it can be one month to six months in prison.
03:29But if the injury is very severe and you got hurt, and you got blind,
03:33for example, in both eyes, six years and one day to twelve years in prison,
03:38that's not light.
03:39Others ask, if it's just one eye, is the penalty different?
03:43Well, yes, two years and four months and one day to six years if one eye is blind.
03:48So we cannot use self-defense because there is no threat in your life
03:55to justify the use of muriatic acid.
03:58Because it's just water, right?
04:00There is no threat in your life.
04:02We cannot say that your eyes just got dark,
04:05that's why you did it because compassion and obfuscation,
04:09as a mitigating circumstance, is what we're going to use.
04:12Well, you have muriatic acid.
04:14It's like planning.
04:16That's called evident premeditation.
04:18And you cannot say that your eyes got dark,
04:21that's why you did it.
04:23And you did self-defense in case you got splashed with water.
04:27So maybe we should call the concerned LGU,
04:31make sure that peace and order is maintained even if there is a party,
04:35and enforce that ordinance, right?
04:39So that it won't happen.
04:40So as long as we're talking about the law,
04:42we will make it clear for the stability of thought.
04:46Don't think twice.
04:48Ask me, ask Atty. Gaby.
04:52Thank you.
