00:00Meanwhile, she will give the answers to the questions on the law.
00:04Here is our lawyer on the law, Atty. Gaby Concepcion.
00:07Good morning, Atty. Happy Friday!
00:12Good morning to you too, Maris, and happy Friday to all the viewers.
00:16In any case, the video we will watch is trending again.
00:20A rider was caught in a collision with his traffic enforcer in Alabang, Muntin, Lupa.
00:28The enforcer hit him several times and kicked him.
00:31He was worried that the students might cross the road when he saw the rider falling.
00:39The suspect did not stop, so the enforcer stopped him.
00:43When he stopped, the rider started to get angry and hurt.
00:49He explained that he was in a hurry to go back to Quezon City and his head got hot.
00:56What does the law say about that?
00:59Ask me, ask Atty. Gaby.
01:06Atty., the head of the road is getting hot.
01:12He was already in a traffic violation.
01:16What can be the case in this kind of situation?
01:20The head is really hot.
01:21Nothing good can be done about it.
01:24Road rage?
01:25You'll just regret it.
01:27Especially if your opponent is a person in authority.
01:31It's bad enough that you'll fight with a motorcyclist or a motorcycle rider.
01:41But if the traffic enforcer is your enemy, well, hold on.
01:47Under the revised penal code,
01:49if you're going to fight a person in authority or an agent,
01:54and not just lose, but there's a mixed force or serious force or intimidation,
02:00this can be considered a direct assault under Article 148 of the revised penal code.
02:07And don't get confused about the penalty because the penalty here,
02:10if you raised your hand, the person in authority is prison correctional in its minimum to maximum periods.
02:17It means 6 months and 1 day up to 6 years.
02:21Your imprisonment and fine will not exceed Php 200,000.
02:27So, this kind of harassment is not a joke.
02:32The question is, Atty., if people of authority like enforcers or police are injured while doing their job,
02:40is the case more serious?
02:42Well, yes.
02:43First of all, we need to remember that all members,
02:46for example, the courts and jurisdictions are considered persons in authority.
02:52So, it includes the police, barangay captains, professors, lawyers while doing their duties,
02:59mayors, and other officials.
03:01It also includes all those who maintain public order,
03:05just like traffic enforcers.
03:08They are the persons in authority.
03:10So, is the case more serious?
03:12Yes.
03:13For example, if you raised your hand to an ordinary person,
03:16the case is likely to be slight physical injuries.
03:19It means that you raised your hand, but it was not serious.
03:23You were not hospitalized for more than 9 days.
03:25What is the penalty?
03:26The penalty is arrest to minor.
03:28You will be in prison for a month.
03:31But if you raised your hand to a person in authority,
03:36the prison can last up to 6 years.
03:39That's why you should be careful.
03:41It's not because you have a hot head or you are in a hurry,
03:45that's why your fellowmen will hurt you,
03:47especially if he is a person in authority like a police or traffic enforcer.
03:53They need to be careful.
03:54It's hard to work under the sun, right?
03:56If you have a hot head,
03:58it's likely that their head should be hotter.
04:01In any case, in the law, we will make it clear
04:04that for the peace of mind,
04:07wag magdalawang isip,
04:09ask me, ask Atty. Gatto.
