ON THE FAKE NEWS LINKING THE CHIEF OF POLICE OF TIGAON TO ALLEGED STATEMENTS AGAINST HIS SUPERIORS
I, the undersigned Chief of Police of Tigaon, strongly deny and condemn the malicious and baseless online article falsely claiming that I accused my superiorsโPolice Colonel Virgilio Of Olalia, Jr, Provincial Director of the Camarines Sur Police Provincial Office, and Police Brigadier General Nestor C Babagay, Jr, Acting Regional Director of Police Regional Office 5 of protecting illegal gambling operations in Tigaon, Camarines Sur.
Let it be made absolutely clear: I have never made such statements, nor have I issued or authorized any pronouncement related to these false allegations. The words and accusations attributed to me in this fabricated report are entirely untrue, maliciously crafted, and intended to discredit not only myself but also the integrity of the Philippine National Police leadership in the region.
As a proud member of the PNP, I have always upheld the principles of honor, justice, and integrity in the performance of my duties. I firmly support our organizationโs campaign against illegal gambling and all other forms of criminal activity. At no time have I engaged in any action that undermines my superiors or tarnishes the name of the institution I serve.
I urge the public to remain vigilant against fake news and disinformation. The Tigaon Municipal Police Station will take all necessary steps to identify the source of this fabricated article and ensure that those responsible are held accountable under the law.
To the people of Tigaon and the entire Bicol Region, rest assured: the PNP remains steadfast in its sworn duty to protect and serve with dedication, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to the truth.
PMAJ INAR VIC V FLORECE
