Isko Moreno wants Chinese man deported for peeing in public, assaulting tanod

Manila Mayor Isko Moreno wants a Chinese national deported for allegedly urinating in public and assaulting a barangay tanod.

Moreno told reporters on Monday that the man was seen peeing on a wall. When a barangay tanod tried to stop him, the man reportedly got angry and physically assaulted the tanod.

“Foreigners,” Moreno said, “it is immaterial what country you come from. If you go to Manila, follow simple rules. And I think that is a generally accepted rule that you don't pee in the streets.”

“You will be arrested because it is prohibited,” he warned.

“If you hit our enforcer, attempt to hurt our policemen because you are a superpower, you are not welcome in Manila,” he added.

Moreno said he will ask the Bureau of Immigration to have the Chinese man deported.

The mayor did not identify the man but said that he has already been detained.

Petty crimes

Moreno also claimed that the incidence of petty crimes in Manila has gone down following his campaign to clear the city's streets and sidewalks of obstructions, but acknowledged that he is still waiting for the actual numbers.

He particularly mentioned Recto, Soler and Juan Luna as areas where the incidence of snatching has reportedly gone down. — BM, GMA News
