Two Quezon City Police District (QCPD) personnel who were the first responders and believed to be behind the uploading on social media of the video of the late actor Ronaldo Valdez at the crime scene where he was found dead on Sunday, Dec. 17, were relieved from their duties, QCPD Director Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan confirmed on Wednesday, Dec. 20.

In a text message, Maranan told the Manila Bulletin that one of the police officers was a first responder when the incident was reported to them, while the other one reportedly uploaded the video in a Viber group.

The identities of the relieved police operatives who were assigned to the QCPD Galas Station (PS 11) were not disclosed.

Maranan added that the commander of the station where the cops were assigned was also relieved under the doctrine of command responsibility.

The video shared on social media showed the crime scene where Valdez was found unresponsive while sitting on a chair in his residence.

Based on police investigation, it was found out that the video was taken by PS 11 personnel who were the first responders at the crime scene.

The Quezon City Anti Cyber Crime Team said the other personnel posted the video in their Viber group, and three civilian Facebook accounts were found to be first to upload the video and compilation of photos of the incident on the social media platform.

The video garnered comments from netizens who called out the uploaders to delete their posts and respect the privacy and the bereaved family of the late actor.

"There are three identified civilian accounts which posted the video on Facebook. Investigation is still ongoing to determine other personalities who propagated the video," the police chief said.

Maranan immediately ordered the relief of PS 11 station commander for possible command responsibility. His two personnel were reassigned to the District Personnel Holding Admin Section (DPHAS) while a thorough cyber investigation is ongoing to identify other inviduals involved.

Police said that cases of violation of Presidential Decree 1829 (Obstruction of Justice); Republic Act (R.A.)10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012 in relation to R.A. 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012; and Section 3, Paragraph K of R.A. 3019 (Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act); and violation of other applicable laws will be filed against the personalities involved.

The QCPD said the charges were in compliance to Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte's instruction to conduct an in depth investigation and file cases against against those responsible for making the video public.

Valdez's death was earlier announced by the QCPD and his son, singer and actor Jano Gibbs, who requested privacy for their family.

Maranan had earlier said that they are conducting an investigation to determine the cause of death of the actor.

"Whoever is caught spreading any videos of the victim’s death will be dealt with accordingly. We also encourage the public to give the family time to grieve the passing of their loved one," QCPD said.

  8. Kailangan pa ring idemanda sila at ang QCPD mismo dahil representative ang mga iyan ng QCPD during work hours. Hit them in their pockets para magtanda at hindi gayahin ng iba.

  9. Damage has been done. How can you trust police in this country, sila pa mismo sangkot sa crimes or protector ng mga suspects.

  14. If we watch the video closely, ang nag vvideo hindi pulis, kundi isa sa mga nag rescue/recover. Nag iisa ang pulis na kasama sa nag rescue. Sabi pa nga niya, magpadala ng kasama kasi mag isa siya. Pero yes, may kasalanan ang pulis kasi hindi niya na keep ang peace and order sa scene of the crime. Trabaho ng pulis dapat na pagbawalan ang video at imanage ang mga taong nag rescue.

  15. Bakit not disclosed? Malay natin kung tinanggal nga sa pwesto. Also di lang dapat tanggalin, may parusa pang iba. Dapat mademanda. Mukhang protektado.

  16. Pag regular na nilalang walang pakundangan sa pagpost. Walang tanggal tanggal sa pwesto.

  17. I can only imagine mga ibang victims pa na pinagpapasapasahan nila sa viber group nila!

    Sana ilabas ang name! Para ma check

  18. I hope makasahuhan ang mga nag upload nito. Sobrang disrespectful ng ginawa nila. Sad to say na ibang mga pinoy inuuna pa mag video at mag upload sa fb even in times of emergency for the sake of views..

  19. Mapapamura ka talaga sa ginawa ng walang puso at walang konsensyang nagkalat ng video. The damage has been done maski isibak o ikulong pa yan sa kural.

  25. I remember seeing it in my feed. I had no idea what it was but it just played automatically. Nag click ako to report, even if I knew na malamang, shared na at mag v viral agad ang ganoong content. Ang galit ko when I saw it. Imagine pa ang pamilya. Sa akin, di enough ang ginawa. Sana makasuhan para di na gawin ang mga ganitong mga bagay.

  26. I hope they include the 'three identified civilian accounts'. This really has to be dealt with. Sobrang mali nitong ginawang ito.
