Arriving from his lunch break, he had bought a bottle of inexpensive rum for his friend's gathering later at his house. He showed the bottle to the security guard, wanting to leave the bottle at the door, but the guard motioned him to bring it with him. During his aftemoon break, Jonald, one of his friends and an officemate, came along and saw the bottle from under Jojo's desk, immediately opened it, and jokingly offered the bottle to Jojo. Jojo gamely obliged and also jokingly acted like drinking from the bottle. Just then, Anthony, a supervisor from another section appeared from nowhere and accused Jojo of dinking within the company premises and during work hours. Jojo thought he would be reprimanded in the afternoon but it never came.

However, unknown to Jojo, Anthony approached Jojo's supervisor and recounted the story. Jojo's supervisor did not bother to ask the side of Jojo as he considered the account of Anthony as sufficient evidence.

The next day, Jojo was surprised to see his termination paper on the desk advising him to get his last salary from the cashier. Jojo then sought the assistance of their labor union.
