Albayalde orders relief of three policemen who, armed and without wearing uniforms, confronted civilian in his residence over traffic altercation

(Eagle News)–Philippine National Police Chief Oscar Albayalde has ordered the relief of three policemen after they were caught confronting a civilian in his residence over a traffic altercation that transpired before, in a viral video.

Relieved were brothers PO1 Rendel Soriano of Caloocan Police Station, PO3 Ralph Soriano of the Northern Police District and PO1 Reniel Soriano of Camp Crame’s Drug Enforcement Group.

The PNP said it has launched a probe against the three following the complaints of  grave threat, grave oral defamation and alarm and scandal and violation of the Omnibus Election Code filed by Ricardo Malaya against them.

The last one was because some of the Sorianos were armed without  their uniforms when they confronted Malaya after  a traffic altercation on Mabini St. in Caloocan involving only Reniel.

Albayalde said that police officers “must always showcase discipline and should conduct themselves properly all the time.”
