MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police on Friday warned lawyer Lorenzo “Larry” Gadon that he may face arrest for blatantly refusing to wear a face mask and face shield in public places, violating the minimum health protocols in the country. Larry Gadon may face arrest if he continues to violate health protocols and ordinances imposed by Local Government Units that require the use of face mask and face shield in public,” Banac said in another statement. “As an officer of the court he should know better than to flagrantly disrespect the rules and regulations that protect public health,” he added. Eleazar, who is also the commander of Joint Task Force (JTF) COVID Shield, said Gadon could be liable for violation of Manila City’s Ordinance No. He came under fire earlier this month after a picture of him wearing a face shield with a surgical mask taped to it circulated in social media.
