BUTUAN CITY – Two content creators in Cabadbaran City in Agusan del Norte are facing alarm and scandal charges after staging a disruptive public stunt that authorities say compromised public safety and negatively impacted the city’s reputation.
In a statement released on Monday, the Cabadbaran City Police Station detailed how the actions of the content creators obstructed traffic flow and disturbed both residents and travelers.
On April 19, vloggers Johnreil Alibio and Elton Wen Lara placed a toilet bowl in the middle of a traffic light intersection in Barangay Mabini, creating an immediate hazard.

The resulting video was later posted and widely circulated on their social media page, “CBR BOYS.” Following their arrest on Saturday evening, criminal charges are now being prepared against both Alibio and Lara.
