A vlogger in Consolacion, Cebu, nicknamed "Snail Man," went viral after he walked extremely slowly on the highway as part of his content. Instead of just being funny, it caused heavy traffic in the area, causing delays for many motorists.
After the video went viral, it immediately drew negative reactions from netizens. Many expressed their annoyance at the inconvenience the vlogger caused to rushing commuters and workers. Some said that this type of content should not be made into a joke, especially on public roads.
Due to the incident, the vlogger personally went to the Consolacion Police Station to apologize. According to him, he did not think that it would disturb the public. "I apologize... what I did was really bad. I caused a public disturbance on the road," he said.
However, authorities have decided to file charges against him to serve as a lesson to other vloggers who perform dangerous stunts on the road. According to the police, it is important to be responsible in creating content to avoid harm and inconvenience to the public.
