Problem/goal: Baranggay is intimidating my cousin because of this encounter.

Context: My cousin moved to a barangay somewhere in Calabarzon this year. She is a registered resident in another barangay an hour away where she used to reside. Now one morning, the barangay captain himself plus another man showed up at her doorstep. She thought it was weird and scary at the same time. They were forcing her to come with them so she could register at the barangay. She felt really uncomfortable because she had lived all her life in the Philippines and has lived in many places and never once had she gotten a visit like that. My cousin works from home and when she explained to them that she couldn’t do that because her work was about to start, it was almost 8 am, they weren’t happy. She said that she would do that once she was available. They were making her come up with a date. She said she would make time for it but she didn’t know when. Again, she was feeling weird and uneasy about the whole thing. Probably also due to the fact that she was a woman. Also, she really was busy that day. She always is. She works day and night. And only takes breaks when she needs to do something important. And also, to her knowledge, you would go to a barangay office when you need something like certificates and that a barangay captain would never do something like that. She felt intimidated. When she insisted she couldn’t leave just like that, they gave up and left saying “wala kang pakisama”. Were the captain and the other man wrong for doing that?What would you do if you were my cousin? Now the baranggay hates her according to a neighbor. She obviously has no problem registering but that encounter really made her feel unsafe.
