Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Dir. Gen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa called out the lady cops who were caught taking pictures with actor Mark Anthony Fernandez after he was arrested for possessing a kilogram of marijuana in San Fernando, Pampanga on Tuesday.
Although Dela Rosa said he understands that the two Angeles City policewomen may have been “overwhelmed” with Fernandez’s presence, the police chief said they could face administrative complaint for conduct unbecoming of a police officer.
“I don’t like that picture because as law enforcers, ano ba? Na-starstruck ka pa rin sa isang criminal offender, ‘di ba? Hinuli siya ‘di ba at ngayon magpapapicture ka pa doon? On the other hand, naiintindihan ko rin naman ang aking mga policewomen dahil nakalimutan siguro nila na sila ay pulis,” dela Rosa said in an interview on Wednesday.
(I don’t like that picture because as law enforcers, what are you thinking? You act starstruck in front of a criminal offender, right? He was nabbed, yet you would ask for a photo with him? On the other hand, I understand my policewomen because they might have forgotten they are police officers.)
“Na-overwhelm lang sila, nakalimutan nila na sila’y pulis. Nangingibabaw sa kanila yung kanilang pagka-movie fan siguro o pagka-dalaga or pagka-babae na nakita nila ‘yung actor na magandang lalaki, nagpapaselfie sila (They were overwhelmed and might have forgotten they are police officers so their being movie fans and women dominated when they saw the good-looking actor and they took a selfie with him) so I both hate that picture at the same time, I understand by police women for their actuation,” dela Rosa added.
The two policewomen drew flak on social media after their photo with the 37-year-old actor went viral. In the photo, Fernandez was wearing the same polo shirt when the police presented him to the media at Camp Olivas in Pampanga. Fernandez denied owning the marijuana but admitted he uses the illegal substance as a cure for cancer.
Dela Rosa said he was concerned that the public might think the police have double standard in handling drug suspects.
“Baka sabihin nila that there is a double standard sa policing at law enforcement na ginagawa natin. Sa ordinaryong drug user or pusher eh saksak agad doon sa selda eh pag itong artista eh nagpapaselfie pa ‘yung mga pulis,” he said.
(The public might think that that there is a double standard in our policing and law enforcement. An ordinary drug user or pusher is put immediately inside the cell whereas when an actor was caught, the police officers were asking for a selfie.)
The police chief said he will refer the incident to the PNP’s Internal Affairs Service (IAS), the unit which probes erring cops.
“I will refer this matter to the Internal Affairs Service. Tanungin ko sila kung ano nalalabag nila na policies, ano nalalabag nila na batas (I would ask them what policies and law the policewomen have violated),” he said.
But unlike dela Rosa, Central Luzon police director Chief Supt. Aaron Aquino thinks the policewomen did not commit any violation.
“But pagsasabihan ko sila na hindi proper magpa-picture sa isang suspect. Nagkataon lang naman kasi na celebrity ‘yung suspect. Hindi naman nila ‘yun sinasadya (But I would reprimand them that it is not appropriate to take photos with a suspect. It just happened that the suspect is a celebrity. They didn’t mean to do it),” Aquino said.
Nakakaloka! Hahahaha! Fangirling policewomen. LOL
ReplyDeleteNaloka c Bato,kasi kala nya sya lang pwede iselfie ng nga fans, pwede din naman ang mga Law offender, lalo na pag pogi! Well ililitis pa din naman sya wag na palakihin ang issue dhil sya naman tlga ang pinaka sikat sa gwapings, sana wag nman forevs in jail, wala naman syang pinatay or inapakang tao. Ikulong lang para magbago,
Delete2:39 teh, papalitan mo yung batad para wala syang forevs in jail.
DeleteFair lang dapat tayo. Kung naayon sa batas na makulong sya forever, dapat lang.
DeleteKung wala siyang legal counsel at iniharap nila at pinagdadaldal sa harap ng media, pwede siyang maabsowelto sa technicalities. Isettle na lang at magparehab na lang. User lang naman hindi pusher
DeleteIYONG EKSENANG WALA TALAGA SA PINAS IYONG SALITANG "PROFESSIONALISM."
DeleteMGA PULIS GUSTO MAGPA-PIC SA NAHULING TAO.
IYONG MGA NURSE GUSTO MAGPAPICTURE SA MAY SAKIT NA ARTISTA.
NAKAKALOKA!
Tanggalin na yan para hindi tularan.
ReplyDeletewag naman, pa rebisa na lang ang code of ethics/conducts!
DeleteWag naman tanggalin. Pwede na ang disciplinary write-up at bigyan ng training ang lahat ng pulis tungkol sa pag papa picture sa mga suspect.
DeleteHmn, nastar struck lang di naman pinakawalan nila or wat? As a fan of the gwapings non, haharap pa din nman sa law si mark,wag kaung oa
Delete12:53 mga gaya mo ang hindi dapat ginagawang boss
DeleteGrabe 'to! Nakakahiya!
ReplyDeletepag naka-uniporme at naka-duty, ang focus dapat ay trabaho.
ReplyDeletePag law offender bawal na magpa pic sa suspect? lalj na cguro pag c brad pitt pa yan? Kahit naman sandamukal pics nila ikkulong pa rin sya in da end
Delete2:37 naman. Pero yung mga media kasi nagpublish nyan.
DeleteHahahha in fairness ang gaganda din nung dalawang policewomen. Ang gwapo naman kasi talaga ni Mark Anthony e. Maski ako siguro tititigan ko din sya pag andyan haha pero di magpapapicture nor admire him.
ReplyDeleteBaka mag volunteer pa kong night shift para magbantay teh. ahahaha!
Deletei dont see anything wrong on this picture, just to ladies overwhelmed with a former matinee idol. PLus the fact na mukang mag kakaedad cla for sure idol nila c mark...wag ng bigyan ng kung ano pang malisya... #fact
ReplyDeleteThey should behave like professionals! Siguro hindi mo alam ang disciplina at ethics kaya ganyan reaction mo. Now you know so umayos ka.
DeleteShunga! Naka-uniform sila, oras ng duty, ano teh, binayaran ba sila para magpa-picture sa isang convicted?! Teh kasehodang gwapo yan, pag oras ng trabaho, trabaho lang dapat
DeleteHe is a criminal and should have been treated as one. They were not "celebrity and fans" in this setting. They were felon and police officers and the women should have acted according to their positions and job description. Yang mentality ng tulad ng iyo ang dahilan bakit nakakatawa ang police sa atin eh. Unprofessional behavior na nga pero ok lang sa 'yo kasi may artista. Kakahiya.
DeleteTama on duty dapat intay muna matapos then nagsuot sila ng duster or anekanek para magfangirl mode na sila all the way.
DeleteHindi pa siya convicted, hindi pa criminal
DeleteLol . Wala talagang concept ng professionalism dyan sa pilipines Hahahha. May ganitong issue din sa DFA di ba yung applicant ng visa Hahahha. Sabagay drugs kasi ang priority saka Kung ang president nga walang modo ang citizens pa Kaya Hahahha.
ReplyDeleteBakit ka nagpalit ng username? Kasi ba wala na pumapansin kay Mister Brightside? KSP.
DeleteMaybe don't fire them, but they definitely need to be suspended without pay even for a few days. What they did is very unprofessional. If that was any other job, you can get fired or suspended. If you don't make an example of them, ppl are just gonna keep doing it.
ReplyDeleteyes hindi pwedeng walang action against them. we need discipline in this country kahit in small doses. it is for the good of everyone din in the long run. we need to be accountable for what we say and do.
DeleteHahhahaha , nakuh pagbigyan niyo na fangirl mode lang yung 2 pulis,pagsabihan na lang...gwapo naman kasi talaga si mark anthony
ReplyDeleteTeh hindi dapat umiiral yang "paluwagan" system, kawawa naman employer mo kung ganyan ka tsk tsk
Deletebias kase porke artista, pero maganda tong 2 pulis, pwedi na rin magpahuli hahaha
Deleteyan ang pinoy. kunsintidor
DeleteOMG. I am cringing. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Waaahhh!!!!
ReplyDeletenagpa autograph sila sa...
DeleteThey are wearing their uniforms kasi kaya dapat sumunod sila sa code of ethics.
ReplyDeleteLagot kay Bato!
ReplyDeleteOnly in the Philippines!!! It really is more fun in the Philippines!!!
ReplyDeleteStep 1: Arrest
ReplyDeleteStep 2: Finger print
Step 3: Mugshut
Step 4: Selfie / Picture muna with the police officers
Step 5: Put him behind bars
Hayaan nyo na. Minor offence lang yan.
ReplyDeleteminor offense baks? wala ngang bail panu naging minor? juice colored!
DeleteMinor offense daw yung fangirling ng 2 police. Getz?!
DeleteNo bail is minor offence?
DeleteNAKAKAHIYA. Pilipino talaga silaw na silaw sa celebrity status, nalimutan na ang professionalism. Kung sa ibang bansa yan fired agad ang mga yan para hwag tularan. Mga baluktot ang pag-iisip. Buti sana kung kahit kaninong kriminal ganyan sila kabait eh porke artista lang kaya ganyan nawala sa position ang asal.
ReplyDeletelaugh it off teh... maganda sa heart
ReplyDeleteNaawa ako kay Mark sa picture nato, alam mo yung tipong super stressed kana pero need mo padin mag smile at magpaka nice just because pulis itong mga napagpa picture sa kanya.SMH
ReplyDeleteIn fairness, pretty ang dalawang pulis.
ReplyDeletewhy on earth would you have your picture taken with a celebrity while he's being processed in a precinct??? Nakakaproud ba ang encounter na yan?
ReplyDeleteKapag tambay sa kanto ang ang nagdudrugs, patay agad, sasabihin pa ng iba na, "buti nga, salot yan" pero kapag sikat awang awa pa at sana raw mabigyan ng chance, nagpapapicture pa pati pulis. Hay.
ReplyDeleteMark still so kind to smile for a pic with them... that's real kindness!
ReplyDeleteYou missed the point.
DeleteIba sabi na yung mga mahihirap na nahuhuli eh patay agad... Well that's one unfortunate system ng D30 eh matapang lang si D30 sa mga small timer napapatay pero hinde kasalanan yun ng mga hinde napapatay na nahuhuli like Mark... But let's all get real na may mas BIG TIME CORRUPT na milyones ninakaw sa gobyerno pero hinde nakakulong &/or enjoying exclusive camp crame cell so wag ibuhos kay Mark ang blame...
ReplyDeleteOnly in the Philippines. I can't even. lol
ReplyDeleteSeems Mark hasn't aged a bit.
ReplyDeleteNo professionalism. Only in the Philippines as they say.
ReplyDeleteVery third world.
ReplyDeleteShameful. These women don't even know how to do their job professionally.
ReplyDeleteHaaaay, Pinas. No rules and protocols. Anything goes.
ReplyDeleteDapat dyan sa dalawang yan ihalo nalang sa mga taga tili sa pinoy boy band superstar ekek. Akala ata nila ate nagcocosplay lang sila as police officers. Sa Canada at US kahit babaeng pulis matitikas tignan, nakakaintimidate hindi pacute at pabebe.
