ACTS-OFW Rep. Aniceto “John” Bertiz could be penalized for resisting and disobedience to authorities, the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) said Monday. Arturo Evangelista said Bertiz violated Article 151 of the Revised Penal Code after he refused to remove his shoes at a security check at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) when asked by an airport personnel last Saturday. Bertiz was under fire after a CCTV footage – where he was seen confronting a security screening officer – surfaced and went viral on social media. However, Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Ed Monreal said that 20 minutes before Bertiz reached the security checkpoint, no Chinese looking individual has entered.
