00:00 This week, the resolution is expected to be released on the many cases filed against Police Lieutenant Colonel Mark Julio Abong,

00:08 the police who fired a gun and injured an employee in a bar in Quezon City.

00:13 The Quezon City Police District or QCPD filed criminal cases for illegal discharge of firearm,

00:20 violation of omnibus election code, physical injury, slander by deed, and disobedience upon an agent of person in authority.

00:27 QCPD Director Police Brigadier General Rodrigo Maranan said that the cases filed against Abong are available.

00:34 The mother unit of Abong said that he will serve his term if he is still able to serve his term.

00:40 He is currently assigned to the legal service of Philippine National Police or PNP.

00:45 That depends upon the order of his mother unit.

00:49 If he is still in his mother unit, his assignment while the case is being heard, he will still report there.

00:58 His status is out on bail.

01:00 Interior Secretary Benher Abalos ordered the PNP to confiscate the three guns of Abong

01:06 because he did not want anyone who is not responsible to use the guns.

01:12 Maranan said that the license of the gun that Abong fired in the bar has expired.

01:17 Maranan reminded Mayor Joy Belmonte of the importance of the police's duty to always listen to the public and not to cover up their mistakes.

01:26 As police, you are more than expected to listen to the public and to those who are being harmed

01:34 while you are protecting the peace and order of our people.

01:39 I want to remind you that you are not protectors of those who have power but are allies of those who are being harmed.

01:48 What we are looking at here is whether or not you have violated a law.

01:53 When you violated a law, even if you are a baruka or a police officer, we will arrest you, we will file a case against you and we will detain you.

02:02 Abong was also involved in a hit and run in 2022 where the victim, a tricycle driver, died.

02:09 He was then dismissed from the service of the Quezon City People's Law Enforcement Board.

02:14 Deniza Fernandez, CNN Philippines.
