The management of Farmers Plaza issued on Tuesday a statement apologizing for the \u201cuntoward conduct\u201d of a security guard towards a deaf couple by denying them entry into the mall in Cubao, Quezon City.<\/p>\n

\u201cFarmers Plaza extends our sincerest apology for the inconvenience the incident has caused,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at around 3 p.m. last May 15.<\/p>\n

The guard drove away from the mall deaf couple Robelyn Arcangel and Emmanuel Bernardino, both graduates of De La Salle-College of St. Benilde\u2019s School of Deaf Education.<\/p>\n

According to Arcangel, the guard kept cursing at them as he gestured for them to go away.<\/p>\n

The couple did, but they were able to enter through another gate and report the incident to the mall management, which Arcangel said took swift action.<\/p>\n

A video of the incident has gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n
