Vlogger Viy Cortez has met up with the viral delivery rider who got on his knees pleading with a traffic officer not to fine him over a road violation.
Cortez shared a screenshot of a TikTok video in her Facebook post on May 25.
The video shows the delivery rider kneeling in front of a traffic enforcer, shared by TikTok user “Jhayrick.”
“May nakakakilala po ba kay kuya na nag trending sa tiktok? Yung kumuha ng lisensya ni kuya tapat lang siya sa sa kanyang trabaho(hindi ko alam ang tunay na nangyare) Pa tag po salamat,” she wrote.
Cortez clarified that the traffic enforcer was merely performing his job and claimed to be unaware of the true circumstances.
The Vlogger expressed that she sought the delivery rider to offer assistance. She found it heartbreaking and compassionate to see the rider kneel due to the difficulties he faced while on duty.
Cortez said, “Guys walang mali ang enforcer basahin nyo caption ko. Tapat lang sya sa kanyang trabaho. Nais ko lang tulungan si kuya rider. Dahil para lumuhod ka at magmakaawa maaring malaki ang pinagdadaanan nya.”
Netizens also felt sorry for the rider.

In an update, Cortez shared a selfie of her and the rider in the video, asking her followers to disregard her post.
“Nagkita na po kami salamat po, wag nyo na po palakihin pa itong post ko salamat,” she said.
“Aminado po si kuya na siya ay nagkamali. Saka lang po siya lumuluhod para sana mapababa kase po ₱2k po ang kailangan para maibalik. Kaya po wala kasalanan ang enforcer tapat po s’ya sa kaniyang trabaho,” she concluded.
