Kapamilya actor John Arcilla took to his personal Instagram account to express how disheartening it was to see the video circulating on social media about a security guard destroying the sampaguita flowers being sold by a young girl.


The girl has gained the sympathy of many after the video trended on social media earlier this week.

John maintained that the little girl wasn’t doing any harm as she was only trying to earn money through selling the flowers.

“Kung hindi miserable at hindi mahirap ang buhay ng bata, magtitinda kaya siya ng Sampaguita kung may iba siyang paraan ng pagkakakitaan? Wala naman siyang sinasaktang tao. Mahirap na nga ang buhay niya, papahirapin pa natin? Such a sad video to watch,” he wrote.

The Kapamilya star couldn’t help but agree with the actions of the little girl who retaliated in the video after seeing her livelihood being destroyed by the security guard.

“Nag hahanap buhay yung bata. Bakit kailangan wasakin yung tinda niya? Hindi ko masisi ang bata kung bakit nagalit. Bakit may mga Guard o taong ganito? Sana may kunsiderasyon,” he shared.

“When we are in authority and we use it to mistreat someone we outrank, what kind of person are we? Sana ay mabigyan ng tamang leksiyon ang Guard,” he added.

Various celebrities and fans shared their thoughts and opinions in the comment section of the actor’s post. Derek Ramsay shared how sad that no one tried to help in the situation and was frustrated with the one who took the video.

“It's sad that nobody interfered and made an effort to help pacify the situation. Mas priority pa ang mag video kesa tumulong. Mahirap mag comment sa ganitong mga video. Hindi natin Alam ang buong storya. May mali talaga sa guard and I'm sure may mali din sa bata but mali din ang gumawa ng video kesa tumulong. Nilagyan pa ng music na malungkot,” Derek wrote.

Meanwhile, the security guard has been dismissed as revealed in an official statement by SM Supermalls.

“We have called the attention of the security agency to conduct an immediate and thorough investigation. The Security Guard has been dismissed and will no longer be allowed to service any of our malls,” the statement said.
