The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has initiated summary dismissal proceedings against a Manila police officer accused of grave threats and physical injuries after allegedly pointing his service firearm and kicking an e-bike rider in Tondo, Manila.
In a Sunday statement, NCRPO Officer-in-Charge P/BGen. Christopher Abrahano directed the Manila Police District and relevant disciplinary offices to promptly document and assess the evidence for the administrative case.
Abrahano emphasized that the privilege of wearing a uniform and carrying a government-issued weapon demands strict discipline, restraint, and an unwavering respect for human rights.
“Let this serve as a clear warning to every police officer: your badge and firearm do not put you above the law,” Abrahano said.
“Anyone who uses police authority to threaten, intimidate, or harm another person will be held accountable. I will not tolerate behavior that betrays the trust placed in us by the public,” he added.
Furthermore, Abrahano urged police commanders to actively monitor their personnel and respond swiftly to any reports of misconduct. The NCRPO reaffirmed its commitment to due administrative process, assuring the public that no rogue officer will be shielded from accountability.
