00:00 PNP Chief Police General Benamin agreed to the resignation of the chief of QCPD, Police Brigadier General Nicolás Torre III.
00:10 Torre said that he's ready to step down so that the investigation into the viral road rage in Kamakailan will not be in vain.
00:20 Here's the news center from Patrick De Souza Live.
00:26 Yes, Angelic, he agreed to the courtesy resignation of Police Brigadier General Nicolás Torre III as the director of Quezon City Police District.
00:35 Next, the public became aware of the press conference where Wilfredo González, a viral motorist, was injured and shot at a cyclist.
00:51 Torre said that this is a way for the investigation to be carried out and he's confident that he will not be an influencer.
00:59 He also promised responsibility for the press conference.
01:03 Torre denied that he's not protecting González, who is a former police officer.
01:10 I am sensitive to the sentiments of the people. I think it is the best action right now to preclude any continuing situations that I am influencing the investigation of this case.
01:27 I would like to say that I have never handled, and will never handle, any criminal or wrongdoer in our midst.
01:34 As a police officer, I am sworn to protect and uphold the rule of law.
01:39 According to the PNP chief, Police General Benjamín Acorda Jr., Torre will study the action of Torre as the QCPD director because his accomplishments as QCPD chief were not a joke.
01:56 Acorda will talk to DILG Secretary Benjorn Avalos and Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte about this.
02:04 I have to talk with him first. Although I salute his gesture of some sort of delicacy, we saw that he did a lot of good things in Quezon City.
02:19 For the press conference that was held, it's under investigation actually. We will see if there are claimants that we are protecting, we are lawyering for the accused.
02:37 We will see if there is such intention or not.
02:45 Angelic was first hit by the complaint of alarmist scandal of Gonzales because of what he did, which was caught on viral video.
02:53 Another viral video was caught in Makati City on August 25.
02:58 We can see a man wearing a white T-shirt, who was identified as a police officer and was in the Pasay City Police Station,
03:04 where a motorcycle rider was being chased, who introduced himself as a soldier.
03:09 The two started talking in the traffic. The police saw the rider pulling a gun.
03:16 When they arrived at the police station, the rider asked to go home to get his gun's document but he did not return.
03:24 This is one of the investigations of PNP chief General Acorda.
03:31 We need to know what kind of person he is. He showed us a mere ID.
03:39 For a police officer to release him for just presenting a mere ID, I think further questions should be answered.
03:51 Why is it so easy? It's not like he showed an official ID or an ASP ID.
03:59 There are still many questions.
04:02 Acorda Adjelic added that the investigation of the incident should continue to find out the truth of what happened
04:10 in the two reports that were caught on viral video in Makati City.
04:16 Adjelic.
04:17 Okay so Patrick, three in a row, recent events.
04:22 First, the arrest of Jemboy Baltazar, the 17-year-old suspected suspect.
04:28 Second, the shooting. Although he was not shot, he was stabbed and he was shot.
04:35 And this third incident.
04:37 As the chief of police sees it, what should be done to reduce such incidents
04:46 that always put the image of the police in a bad light and danger?
04:57 According to Adjelic, the retraining of PNP members is still ongoing.
05:04 It is also followed by various incidents involving the police.
05:10 But these incidents, as the PNP said, are isolated cases.
05:15 But they are also focusing on this so that the whole image of the PNP is not put in danger.
05:26 That it is only affected by some who are not good police.
05:32 Adjelic.
05:33 Okay. Thank you very much, Patrick De Jesus.
