This happened few days ago (7/22) when the president of the Republic of the Philippines delivered his State of the Nation Address(SONA). Since this is an important event, many of the police force were deployed to secure the location and prevent any demonstration or protest near the vicinity. In this picture Police Officer 1 Sevilla was being harassed by a foreigner by being asked : âWhy are you doing this? Why are you hurting us?", even though he is just standing there.
He simply replied: âI am a policeman, Iâm just doing my job.â
PO1 Sevilla tries to hold his tears but  canât. With no proper rest, no proper meal and a violent protest being dispersed violently and with extreme exhaustion, he still stood his ground.
Some protesters apparently noticed the crying cop and settled down. Some tried to console him as he tried  hard to control his emotions and tears. Some protesters tapped his shoulders and offered him a handkerchief to wipe his tears.
He finally gave in to his urge and started to silently weep as another violent turmoil started in front of him.As another violent clash ensued, he stood his ground despite of some protesters throwing rocks and bottles.
Before he was removed from the front line, some protesters tried to protect him and hugged so that the other protesters wouldnât harm him. After this incident, some people considered PO1 Sevilla as an example of humility, a seeker of peace and a loyal servant of justice.
