A councilor in Coron is seeking to declare two vloggers persona non grata following a controversial incident at the mayor’s office.
Councilor Juan Patricia Eyes made the proposal after a viral video surfaced showing vloggers Rendon Labador and Rosmar Tan confronting Jho Trinidad, a staff member of Mayor Marjo Reyes.
The confrontation arose after Trinidad posted a critique on social media about an event organized by Labador and Tan, accusing them of neglecting the attendees. Trinidad claimed that residents were left waiting for hours and were not provided with any refreshments.

“They waited for several hours until they starved. The staff even assisted you, but you did not give them a single centavo,” Trinidad wrote on Facebook.
Si Rendon at Rosmar akala mo may ari ng Munisipyo kung makapagmahiya kay ate. Nakaka gigil talaga ang mga tao na nanduduro. Sa mga taga Palawan specially sa Coron. Please I-persona Non Grata n’yo ang mga ‘to. pic.twitter.com/cEDdDqpQcC

In response to the incident, Mayor Marjo Reyes, who was on official travel at the time, has ordered a thorough investigation. He instructed the officers-in-charge of the relevant local government departments to conduct a fair and comprehensive inquiry into the matter.

Jusko! Coron doesn’t need to be promoted. At lalong hindi kailangan ng Coron ang mga taong asal kalye!
Proper setting ng expectations lang to at madadaan sa mahinahong pag-uusap.
Rendon, you don’t do that to a woman. Ang bastos mo!
Rosmar, nasama yung GMRC mo sa sabon mo! pic.twitter.com/nBmPBUPeRK

It was exploitation guised as a charity event. Their content will be monetized and they prolly are gonna get more than what they gave. A fact in organizing charity events, limited funds equals limited invites. Another fact, Coron is world renowned, who’s Rendon and Rosmar again? https://t.co/gKRX8e4nHX

Mayor Reyes was in Puerto Princesa on June 13 to support local participants in the Baragatan Festival 2024.
The local government’s investigation will determine the appropriate actions to be taken based on the findings.
