Must Watch: PNP Chief Albayalde Lectures Member of the Media for Malicious Inquiry on Bikoy's Expose (Video)
The Head of the 125,000 strong Philippine National Police (PNP) forces, Gen. Oscar Albayalde lectured a member of the mainstream media for her alleged malicious inquiry about the latest expose of Peter Joemel Advincula or more popularly known as Alias Bikoy.
According to Gen. Oscar Albayalde there was nothing wrong with allowing "Bikoy" to exercise his "freedom of speech," as part of his reactions to criticisms of his treatment of Advincula.
The PNP Chief was quoted as saying "“This is not a political exercise. This is part of freedom of speech of everybody, part of democracy. Pinipili ba dapat kung kanino ka dapat magsalita? We are a police force. We protect and serve everybody, all Filipino people. Not somebody lang but everybody,” he added.
Watch How Gen. Albayalde Lecture the Mainstream Media:
“He made the news. Ang dami sa kanya, he is trying to make things right. I think the people deserve to know the truth. Marami siyang napaniwala before, now he wants to make things straight. Bakit natin siya i-deny ngayon,” Albayalde said.
The PNP also denied some allegations that the police forces were being used or political ends, with Advincula alias Bikoy naming top opposition personalities in a supposed destabilization plot.
Gen. Albayalde also noted that these "revelations" made by Alias Bikoy would be thoroughly investigated by authorities, but also emphasized that Advincula should back his allegations with evidence.
“Well that is his truth according to him, not according to me. Hindi galing sa akin yun, sa kanya galing yun. I am not saying that what he all said here was the gospel truth. Hindi ko sinabi na lahat ng sinabi nya rito is the gospel truth, it’s according to him, not me,” the police chief said.
Asked by reporters why cops granted Advincula the platform, Albayalde said, "He wanted to talk. We informed him of his constitutional rights, and he said he wants to apologize publicly to the President and those people he also mentioned in his Bikoy episode videos."
The top cop added: "We cannot deny him his freedom of speech. This is democracy. That is part of his freedom."
