He climbed the 47-storey GT Tower without a harness, and was promptly arrested after successfully descending from the skyscraper.
Robert climbed the same skyscraper in 2019. He was arrested and fined 1,000 pesos (US$18) for his stunt.

“Just watching him up there already makes me sweat. It’s making me squeamish,” Vergarra said.
