PRANK LANG PALA? Mga vloggers, himas rehas dahil sa pagpapanggap na taong grasa at mag-amok sa Cebu

Several vloggers were put under the custody of the authorities after imitating the ‘taong grasa’ who went viral on social media for causing commotion in Consolacion, Cebu, was only part of their prank.

In a Facebook post, Police Lt. Rhuffy Federe, deputy chief for administration of the Consolacion police, confirmed that the video was purely scripted.

According to Feder, they filed charges against the said vloggers behind ‘LACION Vines’ for causing commotion for the sake of making content.

The five vloggers apologized to the public for causing commotion and not informing the netizens about the prank.

Meanwhile, the real taong grasa who went viral for stealing food in several stalls and hitting bystanders was already being treated in a mental health facility.

Authorities warned content creators not to make fun of mental illness and to avoid making content that could cause panic in the community.

This was not the first time content creators faced charges for their pranks, and many vloggers in the past have faced legal troubles due to their actions.
