CEBU CITY, Philippines— Cebuanos are known for spreading some good vibes.

Over this weekend, brothers from Barangay Suba, Cebu City, made sure that they would have the whole haircut situation under control.

Jake, 33, and Jayson, 32, Mantilla, decided to take having a haircut to a new level by using a scissor cutting tool, instead of the usual scissors for the hair.

According to Jaybie Mantilla, the brother of Jake and Jayson, who posted the photos on his Facebook page, Saturday, June 4, 2020, that his brothers just wanted to spice up the weekend and just have a little fun.

“My brothers were trying to kill time since they both have no jobs at the meantime because of the virus, so ni gamit sila aning pang cut sa sin as scissors to cut hair,” said Mantilla.
