After the post has gone viral, Valenzuela City Mayor Rex Gatchalian talks to one of the bikers who defied the lockdown protocols. Their bicycles were also confiscated by the city government and put on “lockdown.”

In a twitter post of Mayor Rex Gatchalian, he lashed out that he already identified the violators. Three of them have surrendered, according to his post.

“Alam n’yo ba na bawal ang magbike at mag-jogging sa pampublikong lugar habang ipinatutupad ang ECQ? This is blatant disregard of the ECQ and unnecessary loitering,” Gatchalian said. “Kung akala n’yo na hindi namin kayo mahahanap, we’ll make sure we will find you.”

As punishment, hard-headed cyclists rendered community service by joining the repacking operations at the city’s ALERT Center. Mayor Rex said that the confiscated bicycles will only be returned back to the owners after the community quarantine.
