Foreigner faces charges for resisting arrest, not wearing face mask

Javier Salvador Parra, a Spanish national, faces criminal charges including direct assault, resistance, and disobedience to a person in authority, unjust vexation, and violation of Makati City Ordinance No. 2000-089 for failing to wear a face mask.

The charges were filed after Parra allegedly cursed at and physically resisted Police Master Sergeant Roland Von Madrona when the policeman advised Parra's house help to wear a face mask while watering plants.

The altercation escalated when Madrona attempted to arrest Parra, with Parra's wife also allegedly involved.

Makati Police chief Colonel Rogelio Simon stated the case serves as a warning to foreigners who disrespect police officers in the country.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government is coordinating with the Bureau of Investigation to verify Parra's immigration status.
