Local Vlogger/YouTuber Buknoy Glamurrr received backlash on social media on his video post walking in the streets without following city ordinance amidst the covid-19 crisis.
Cases of the corona virus in the Philippines are staggering and the government issued a health policy under the “Bayanihan Heal as One Act” to wear mask and or face shield when going to public places. Violators may be charge to pay a fine or if caught three times not wearing shall be put to a 10 day detention.
Glamurrr later then posted an apology video but netizen did not take it well all because he claimed he did not "violate" anything. What are your thoughts?

He did it intentionally so that he could be given attention for his vlog. That's his modus operandi.

@Nakitakona True unfortunately... it's dirty tactics though and I prefer watching other contents which is substantial. Have a great day!

That's what i heard, I mean most YouTuber's nowadays uses this shock value and not even give two cents on people's safety just to gain that monetization. It's really disgusting to be honest. Thanks for your response!

It's all over local YouTube, he has been in hot seat lately for doing some outrageous stunts such as his first backlash where he belittle a tricycle "tuktok" driver while sipping Starbucks Frappe in front of the guy. He should admit his wrong and held accountable. Sadly, his local barangay sided him all because he is a celebrity. Thanks for your response.

@rakski He should! He took a hiatus for a couple of days and yet back at it in the grind of doing content like nothing happened. lol Hope he matures...

The backlash started because the viral video was him wandering the streets at the wee hours drunk and not wearing a mask and his so called apology video did justified that he is wrong though he made mention that he did not violate anything. He should own to his mistake. Thanks for the response!

If he intentionally violates then, charges will be on him. It's all about the safety concern in order to minimize the case, posting apology video may not help.

@psanasangma It is... right now this vlogger is taking some hiatus from posting on his social media but still that doesn't forget what he did. Thanks for your response.

What triggers the netizens on this backlash is that he went wandering the streets at the wee hours being drunk and on film while not wearing a mask and his apology just justifies that he did violate something... Don't even know if you call it an apology when in fact he denied that he did something wrong. #smh. Thanks for your response!

He should! Apparently he got away with the local government because he is famous. You know how politics runs in the Philippines. #SadReality. Thanks for your response!
