MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police Civil Security Group (PNP CSG) will also summon the sampaguita vendor as part of its investigation into her altercation with a mall security guard, a video of which recently went viral.
The mall guard appeared before the CSG’s Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies (Sosia) last Monday to air his side of the issue after he was seen destroying the girl’s sampaguita flowers after asking her to leave the mall premises.

The CSG spokesperson said the security guard and his agency are expected to submit their counter-affidavits by Thursday, Jan. 23.
“Willing naman na nakipag-cooperate ang security guard para nga din ma-clear ang kanyang side, but again, ang kino-conduct natin sa ngayon ay nasa preliminary evaluation phase pa lang tayo,” Gultiano explained.

“We will base [it] on the counter-affidavit or kung ano pa yung ibang mga ebidensya para ma-determine kung meron nga probable cause to file a formal complaint doon sa security guard,” she added.

The CSG previously warned that the mall security guard may have committed ethical violations during the incident and that he could have his license revoked.
The Mandaluyong City Police last Friday confirmed that the girl in the viral video is a college student and scholarcrown89, amid speculation from social media users that she is a member of a syndicate wearing a school uniform to earn sympathy while begging for alms.
