MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin apologized over her community pantry which turned into a ruckus after people flocked to the area and disregarded social distancing. A senior citizen collapsed while lining up at the community pantry.
In her Instagram account, Angel posted a video saying everybody was well-prepared for the event but people who cut the line made social distancing impossible to observe.
“Nagsimula naman kami ng maayos though mahaba yung pila may social distancing siya tsaka yung mga tao nabigyan na namin ng pwede nilang orderin, pipiliin na lang po nila para mas mabilis. Maayos naman po kami, may mga stubs naman po na pinamigay. Then parang yung mga walang stubs sumingit sa pila. Naiintindihan ko naman po kasi kanina pa sila sa pila pero ayon yung naging dahilan kaya nagsiksikan,” Angel said.
The actress-philanthropist said they contacted the city hall, police, military and barangay who helped them but the number of people grew larger, making it difficult to control.
