Dahil siguro siga yung may-ari ng building, dinisregard nung may-ari ng gobyerno,&quot; the mayor said.&quot;Binigyan sila ng notice to stop, they did not... Mukhang matitigas ang ulo nito, mukhang may pinagmamalaking senador ito, mukhang may ipinagmamalaking pulitiko ito,&quot; he said without naming a senator.The mayor also slammed foreign nationals who disregard the law in the capital city.&quot;Hindi puwede kayo ang masusunod samin. Hindi puwedeng kayo masusunod dito porke&#x27;t mayaman kayong bansa,&quot; he said.&quot;Hindi komo mayaman kayong bansa, siga na kayo, lalo kung may kaibigan kayong pulitiko. Gawin niyo yan sa ibang lungsod, huwag sa Maynila,&quot; he said.He reminded businessmen that donating to the city should not be a license to skirt laws in the capital.&quot;I love you if you donate. Thank you for your help but this does not give you a license na mang-abuso,&quot; he said.&quot;I can have dinner with you. We can have pictures but it doesn&#x27;t mean that you can abuse those to abuse our fellow Filipinos or Manileños,&quot; he said.Moreno also called on the Chinese embassy in the Philippines to &quot;take note of this situation&quot; and to remind their citizens in Manila to &quot;just follow the rules so there will be order.&quot;
