In an unexpected incident, a heated confrontation occurred between Rosmar Tan, Rendon Labador, and a municipal staff member in Coron, Palawan. The incident stemmed from a charity event organized by Rosmar Tan’s group, which aimed to help the Coron community.
Following the confrontation, the municipal staff member posted a video apologizing for the incident. In the video, he expressed his feelings and apologized for his part in the altercation.
Rosmar Tan, in her statement, also apologized for her reaction. She said, “I’m sorry for my reaction. I just gave birth and was overwhelmed by emotions. Our intention was only to help.” Rosmar explained that due to her postpartum state, she was easily swayed by emotions, especially in situations related to their advocacies.
Despite the apologies, the incident had a deeper impact. A member of the Coron Municipal Council proposed declaring Rosmar Tan and Rendon Labador as persona non-grata. This move seemed to be driven by the desire to maintain order and respect within the municipality, particularly during events involving municipal officials and visitors.
Declaring someone persona non-grata is a serious action that aims to ban an individual from returning or participating in any activities in the area. It is usually done to protect the welfare of the residents and maintain community order. If this proposal is implemented, Rosmar Tan and Rendon Labador will no longer be allowed to return to Coron for any activity or purpose.
Currently, this incident serves as a reminder to all personalities and their groups to be careful and show respect to each other, especially in places where they promote their projects. The event highlighted the importance of maintaining proper conduct and behavior at all times, regardless of emotional state or personal circumstances.
Residents of Coron are closely monitoring the Municipal Council’s decision regarding this issue, while many hope for a resolution that benefits all parties involved.
