Cordi PNP chief urged: Suspend erring cops 


BAGUIO CITY – A complaint was filed at the Prosecutor’s Office here against a city police officer for alleged abuses against a bar manager, bartender and customers inside Amarillo Bar here along Legarda Road with responding cops included in the complaint.
Charges were filed against SPO4 Allan Piloy for allegedly slapping and pointing his gun to the heads of victims then firing the weapon on Sept. 15 around 1 a.m.
Complainants Marvyn Ross B. Fana-ang, acting manager night and bartender Jollimar Delos Reyes who filed their sworn statements Oct. 5 detailed what happened backed by CCTV footage.
Fana-ang, whose parents hail from Bontoc and Sagada, Mountain Province said he also filed a complaint against responding police officers for doing nothing while Piloy shouted and slapped customers in their presence.
Complainants appealed to Cordillera regional police director Rolando Nana to issue preventive suspension orders against Piloy and involved cops while the case was ongoing.
The complaint included charges against police officers who allegedly omitted or did not portray accurately facts in their report like omitting the name of Piloy and their faulty certification of what transpired after they were interviewed at the main city police station.
Fana-ang said it all started when two groups of customers engaged in a brawl which complainants and bar employees tried to pacify.
After the fight stopped, Fana-ang said he heard a voice behind him saying “Pulis ak. Sino ti lastog ditoy (I am a policeman. Who is arrogant here)?
Piloy then allegedly pointed his gun at Fana-ang and his co-workers saying: “Dakayo ti siga ditoy (You are the ones who are arrogant here)?
Fana-ang said he tried to explain to Piloy they were Amarillo employees but he wouldn’t listen. They noticed Piloy was drunk.
               Suddenly, SPO4 Allan Piloy pointed his gun near the head of Jollimar and fired a shot which prompted me to bend down and put my hands over my head,” Fana-ang said. “Then I heard my co-workers trying to tell the cop that I am their boss and we are employees of the bar and were trying to pacify the brawl. I looked up and saw SPO4 Allan Piloy still pointing his gun towards Jollimar while trying to grab him.
And then he turned back to me while pointing his gun downwards over my head.”
Fana-ang said Piloy violently kicked Delos Reyes many times even if he was crouching on the floor in pain. “I held my head down for fear that Piloy will shoot me.”
Fana-ang said he later saw two responding cops who approached members of the groups that started the brawl. “Then Piloy and his male companion we later came to know as Eric repeatedly slapped and kicked these two persons in the presence of these two responding policemen.”
Responding cops brought these two persons and a man who threw a bottle earlier that hit waiter Rolando Balidoy on the forehead to the police station, he added.
Another set of responding cops reportedly went to the bar and took a copy of the CCTV footage. Fana-ang told the cops a drunk cop (Piloy) in civilian clothes fired his gun but they did not say anything.
At the police station, cops allegedly told Fana-ang and his group they did not know Piloy.
They asked for a copy of the blotter but were told that they will be given a copy once the cop who fired his gun is identified.
He said they later went back to get a copy of the blotter but the desk officer, a certain Doctolero reportedly told them they cannot get a copy since it was not signed by the fiscal.
Piloy reportedly later told Fana-ang and his elders and relatives to hold in abeyance the filing of the case against him in a meeting at Amarillo Bar where he allegedly admitted firing his gun. 
In the police certification, Fana-ang said the true facts were not reflected and Piloy’s name was not included even if he was identified already.
All these, Fana-ang said, made him file the case against Piloy and the other cops.
Delos Reyes corroborated Fanaang’s affidavit.
