Cop facing dismissal for threatening bar workers
MANILA, Philippines — The Internal Affairs Service (IAS) of the Philippine National Police (PNP) has recommended the dismissal of a police lieutenant colonel who allegedly threatened workers of a bar in Ilocos Sur last year.
The officer, who was allegedly drunk during the incident that occurred in January 2024, was found guilty of maltreatment and misconduct.
IAS Inspector General Brigido Dulay said the officer forced a waiter to perform push-ups as he and his friends were having a drinking session.
Dulay said the officer was reportedly furious when the employees of the bar failed to recognize him as a regular customer.
Reports said the officer challenged the employees to a fight.
“This kind of behavior tarnishes the image of the police force and erodes public trust,” Dulay said in a statement.
Although the officer was off-duty during the incident, Dulay said his conduct dishonored the police uniform and disgraced the PNP.
