MANILA - The ex-policeman involved in the viral road rage incident in the Quezon City was dismissed from service for a similar offense in 2017, the Philippine National Police said Monday.

According to Police Col. Jean Fajardo, their records showed that Wilfredo Gonzales retired from service in 2016. However in 2017, he was dismissed from service due to grave misconduct.

"Dapat nga itong dating pulis na ito ay hindi na pinayagan na makahawak ng baril... Mayroon po siyang nakaalitan sa kanilang lugar na magkakapatid, ganoon din po, naglabas din siya ng baril," Fajardo told TeleRadyo Serbisyo Monday night.

Fajardo said the PNP is ready to assist the cyclist involved in the viral road rage incident, should he decide to file charges against Gonzales.

She also asked the public for any information on similar incidents involving Gonzales.

Fajardo said that after the incident, Gonzales has been perpetually disqualified from owning or carrying firearms.

The PNP has also confiscated all the firearms owned by the ex-cop.

The viral video earlier showed the ex-cop slapping and brandishing a gun at a cyclist who had bumped into his vehicle.

Lawyer Raymond Fortun, a cycling enthusiast, earlier said he talked to cyclist "AB" (name withheld for his protection) who confirmed he had been receiving threats from several individuals to dissuade him from pursuing a lawsuit against the ex-cop.

Fortun earlier said he will file a complaint with the Land Transportation Office to revoke Gonzales' driver's license "for driving in a reckless manner that threatened the life of AB."

He said he will also furnish a copy of the video "to the Senate President and the Speaker of the House, for them to decide whether the same can be the basis for a congressional investigation, in aid of legislation, in order that the August 8,2023 incident will not be repeated and that the citizenry would feel safer as they traverse our streets."

MANILA — Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte has accused President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., of "pulling the country back into an abusive and excessive government." 

Mayor Duterte is the son of former President Rodrigo Duterte and brother of Vice President Sara Duterte who was impeached by the House of Representatives.

The father and son attended the proclamation rally of senatorial aspirants under the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP) Laban at the Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan City, on Thursday.

“Higit apat na dekada ang nakaraan, nabuo at nanindigan ang PDP Laban upang tutulan ang mapang-abusong rehimeng Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. Ngayon, ang buhay at kinabukasan ng mga Pilipino ay nalalagay na naman sa alanganin. Habang nagsusumikap tayong humakbang patungo sa isang maunlad na bukas ay pilit naman tayong hinihila pabalik ng administrasyon ni Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. sa isang mapang-abuso at mapagmalabis na pamahalaan,” Duterte said in his speech.

“Minsan na nating naipakita at napatunayan na kaya nating ayusin ang sistema ng ating pamahalaan sa pamumuno ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte,” Mayor Duterte said. “Pinatunayan natin na kaya nating magsilbi sa bayan na may disiplina sa sarili, walang kalabisan at walang pang-aabuso lalo na sa pera ng taumbayan. Huwag sayangin ang mandato na ibinigay sa atin ng ating mga kababayan.”

“Huwag nating sayangin ang mga buhay na itinaya ng ating mga kapwa Pilipino lalo na ng mga pulis at sundalo para lamang maipaglaban ang kapayapaan at kalaayan ng bansa,” he added.

The local chief executive said that they will continue to fight as true members of the party and will not back down for the sake of peace.

Mayor Duterte did not mention anything about the impeachment of his sister.

The former president was also mum about it.
