In a video that quickly went viral on Facebook, professional boxer Jay Primo Solmiano, also known as Rapido, who works in Hong Kong as a boxing instructor, was seemingly drunk when seen publicly punching and kicking a fellow Filipino migrant worker named Ricky.
According to a Facebook user named Maria Iluesa Dadulla, Solmiano was with a group of his friends who were also drunk. One of Solmiano’s friends was apparently slapping a woman when Ricky and his friends intervened.
Solmiano reportedly got angry and punched Ricky repeatedly. Photographs of Ricky showed he suffered two black eyes and a broken nose.
After Solmiano posted an apology on Facebook, many netizens were critical of his conduct, saying Solmiano should not be working in Hong Kong and should return to the Philippines.
According to Hong Kong law, the maximum penalty for assault and fighting in a public place is a 12-month jail term and a fine of HK$5,000 (US$637).

12 mons in jail and fined 5k dollars ONLY…small amount lang yan for him…after his service behind bar deport niyo na sa Pilipinas yan…Sa Marawi cya nararapat. Hahaha #Peaceyooooow
This is not the real story!
Kjvanz ChelleVhince hindi na kailangan ang asiste ni Tulfo kasi sa HK nangyari ang insidente. Kailangan lang ng biktima na pumunta sa hospital at doon mismo may mga pulis na aasiste kung sasabihin nya ang nangyari. Efficient, swift and impartial ang HK ????♀️ police hindi katulad sa atin. Kapag nanakit ka sa kapuwa mo sa HK, shoot ka sa bilangguan. No ifs, no buts at hindi mo na kailangan lumapit pa kung kanino para ma-sensationalise ang kaso. 🙂
Walastik ka kabayan ! kulang pa yang penalty mo , dapat Sirain din ang ilong mo at sana ma blacklist ka dito sa HK … ipa Sir Tulfo pa yan para matanggal sa Trabaho niya ! Kakainis !!
Once he is convicted and served the penalty automatic paglabas nyan deport na yan. Dapat nga magsampa pa ng kaso yun nasuntok, para matauhan ng todong todo si sir boxer at di na nakabalik dto.
Well u deserved what punishnent should HK govt. give u..
dapat pauwiin na yan boxer na yan sa pinas,para magtanda.
Bago kau magbitaw ng kumento nyo…mag isip isip muna kau….kung makakatulong ba kau o hindi…
