Ejercito. Stating that he is connected with the lawmaker, the driver attempted to settle the matter by offering to pay the enforcer while the latter was issuing a ticket. But the enforcer chose to do the right thing and didn’t let the name dropping get in the way of accomplishing his duty. <br /><br />The video uploaded on Tuesday, February 2 quickly spread like wildfire on social media getting more than 6,500 shares on Facebook as of press time.<br /><br />Watch the video.<br /><br /><center><div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-video" data-allowfullscreen="1" data-href="/lenard.bernardo/videos/vb.100000801103513/928259230544105/?type=3"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/lenard.bernardo/videos/928259230544105/"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lenard.bernardo/videos/928259230544105/" rel="nofollow"></a><br />Posted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lenard.bernardo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lenard Bernardo</a> on Monday, February 1, 2016</blockquote></div></div></center><br />On Wednesday, February 3, Sen. Ejercito denied the man’s claim that he is connected to the Senator and his Senate office. According to Sen. Ejercito, the man he identified as “Jun” is indeed from San Juan, Metro Manila but was never part of his staff.<br /><br />“It is unfortunate that he had to name drop me and my office just to get away with a traffic violation.
