The chairman of the said village, Bong Viray, not only collects garbage but also sweeps the area, according to Janeel Basco Abrea, the netizen who photographed Viray while collecting garbages.
“Nung nag-lockdown po samin ng four days, ginawa po ni chairman ‘yan. Nagwawalis din po ‘yan si chairman. Umagang-umaga nakikita ko siyang kumukuha ng basura sa bahay-bahay. Wala siyang kasama kumuha sa road namin, ‘yung iba (opisyal ng barangay) kasi nasa kabilang road,” said Janeel.
