Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 9) â€” Authorities on Saturday temporarily held a Chinese national for throwing her cup of "taho," a soft tofu snack, at a police officer who refused her entry in line with the ban on liquids in the Metro Rail Transit line 3 (MRT-3).

 

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) in a press release said the incident transpired at around 8:30 a.m. at Boni Station when PO1 William Cristobal prohibited Jiale Zhang from entering the MRT-3 platform.

 

"[she] entered the baggage inspection area where two security personnel have asked her to consume first her 'taho' before entering the station, but the former insisted not to do so. The matter has been turned over to PO1 Cristobal. As the police officer explained to [her] the security policy of MRT-3, she threw her 'taho' to the police officer," the DOTr said.

 

The Chinese national was then brought to the police detachment at the next station, Shaw Boulevard, where she "apologized and was later released by the authorities."

 

A post circulating on social media showed 'taho' all over Cristobal's arms and upper body. It has been shared over 40,000 times in a span of three hours, as netizens expressed anger over the woman's behavior.

 

 

 

The DOTr appealed for the public's full cooperation and understanding, as it tightens security measures following the deadly twin blasts in Jolo, Sulu which killed at least 23 people and wounded about 100 others last January 27. MRT-3 officials on Friday cited a bomb threat received on January 3 as reason for strictly enforcing a liquids ban.

"The DOTr MRT-3 would like to stress that tighter security measures being implemented inside our trains and stations means no harm to our passengers. We are being cautious since we put in our topmost priorities the safety and security of our passengers and personnel following attacks in Mindanao," the department said. It added that eating and drinking have long been prohibited inside trains and stations, "as this can cause inconvenience, accident and delay to our operations."

If it's not allowed, then it's not allowed. If you're in a different country, you should follow their rules.

There's actually many instances of foreigners (mainly Chinese, Koreans, and Americans) getting blacklisted from entering the country because of their rude and disrespectful behavior towards staff.  I went to the Philippines during the summer, and I even saw a Chinese guy berating one of the workers at the airport about something. 

 

It honestly disgust me how all these people go there, act all superior and threat the locals like shit, because they're in a 3rd world country.

If you're gonna be in a foreign country, don't act stupid and do shitty things like this.

Doesn’t China have a social credit score? I read that people can be banned from planes, trains and hotels if they have shit scores. I hope that bitch ends up being embargoed. lol
