Baguio cop files raps vs drunk cab driver
BAGUIO CITY-- The drunk
driver of a taxicab that dragged and almost ran over a traffic police officer
last Dec. 31 is now facing criminal charges over the incident.
Patrolman
Julius Walang filed on Monday attempted homicide, direct assault upon an agent
of the person in authority, disobedience to a person in authority, violation of
the anti-drunk driving law, and oral defamation charges against Jone Dominguez
Buclay, a driver of the Mabalot taxi.
Walang was
assisted by the Baguio City Police Office (BCPO) through its legal officer,
lawyer Ford Tuazon.
On December 31, Walang was managing the
flow of traffic on Abanao Street when he warned Buclay to leave as his parked vehicle
was obstructing traffic in the area.
Instead of
complying, Buclay cursed at the policeman who then asked that the driver bring
out his license.
Buclay attempted to flee from the scene,
prompting Walang to block his way and called for back-up.
Walang held on the hood of the moving
taxicab which was eventually stopped by another police officer on a motorcycle.
In an
interview with the Philippine News Agency (PNA), Walang again reiterated that
he is not only filing the charges to attain justice for himself but is also
pursuing the case to serve as a warning to all drivers to follow traffic rules
and give due respect to the authorities.
"Itutuloy at ilalaban ko ito para hindi
na gawin ng iba sa mga kapwa ko pulis. Hindi rin ako makikipag-areglo para
matuto ang taxi driver ng
tamang asal sa kalsada (I will pursue the case so that my
fellow policemen will not suffer the same fate. I will not accept any
settlement to give a lesson to the driver and have the proper decorum on the
streets)," he said.
Following the
incident that went viral on social media, the Department of the Interior and
Local government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año commended Walang for his
dedication to service despite the risk to his safety.
The Police Regional Office Cordillera on
Monday also recognized Walang's deed during the flag-raising ceremony.
Meanwhile, BCPO director Allen Rae Co
said they will give all the necessary support to Walang. (PNA)
