**Headline: Russian Vlogger Facing Jail Time in Philippines for Harassment**
**Manila, Philippines** – Russian vlogger Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, known for his controversial online stunts, will face trial in the Philippines and serve his sentence in the country after being arrested for harassing Filipinos in Taguig City. According to Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla, Zdorovetskiy will be tried on three counts of unjust vexation next week and could face up to 18 months in jail.
The charges stem from a viral livestream in which Zdorovetskiy was seen grabbing a security guard’s hat, attempting to seize another guard’s weapon, and threatening to rob a woman in Bonifacio Global City. He was arrested on April 3rd and has been held at the Bureau of Immigration detention facility in Taguig City.
Secretary Remulla has stated that deportation is not an option for Zdorovetskiy as both Russia and the United States (where he is a green card holder) have refused to accept him. Remulla also noted that Zdorovetskiy had contacted him requesting the charges be dropped, citing mental health issues. However, the trial will proceed, and if found guilty, Zdorovetskiy will serve his sentence in a Bureau of Jail Management and Penology facility.
