Well, this was bound to happen.
On Sunday, a netizen by the name of John Abelardo Custodio posted a parody of the woman now dubbed as the “five-minute girl.”
That’s the nickname that Filipinos have given to a supposedly pregnant public prosecutor who became viral for refusing to surrender her license to members of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) after she was caught for illegal parking.
So why “five-minute girl”? In her confrontation with the MMDA, the prosecutor kept shouting: “Where’s my five minutes?”
The prosecutor believed that it was not necessary to surrender her license because she arrived in her vehicle within five minutes of being informed that her van was illegally parked.
Judging by its virality, the parody video looks like a success. It’s been shared more than 21,000 times as of writing.
In his 15-second clip, Custodio uses the prosecutor’s real voice which, presumably, he took from the video posted by vlogger Gadget Geek more than a week ago that showed the confrontation between the woman and the MMDA.
Netizens seemed to have a good laugh thanks to Custodio’s exaggerated facial expressions. And they are clamoring for more.
Wrote Chrishelle Madridano: “Please do the whole video! Make the whole scene up to when her husband arrives. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.”
In Gadget Geek’s video, the prosecutor’s husband arrived and berated the MMDA. He said that his wife was bleeding and they were on the way to the hospital. He also threatened the MMDA’s team that they will be held liable in case his wife miscarries.
A netizen who goes by the name Amilyne Amilyne wrote: “Hahaha. I remember this. Rich people really have the balls to break the law. Come to think of it, if you made mistake in (sic) the road just give your licence (sic) and receive the ticket. Face the charges. Change starts from ourselves then (sic) be a good example to others.”
Mhikel Ramos is wondering what happened to the prosecutor’s case. He wrote: “I wonder what’s new with that. It’s like a bubble that just vanished. Was she forgiven or was her license revoked? News vanishes when there’s a rich and powerful person involved.”
Ramos doesn’t need to worry. The MMDA is still planning to file a case at the Department of Justice against the woman. According to ABS-CBN News, the agency is also seeking the suspension or revocation of her license in spite of her and her husband’s public apology.
