Abusive drunk QCPD cop disarmed, jailed; QCPD chief relieved
NATIONAL Capital Region Police Office director, Major General Anthony A. Aberin on Monday ordered the arrest and disarming of an abusive member of the Quezon City Police District who was seen in a now viral video tormenting a family inside their house apparently while drunk.
Maj. Gen. Aberin also relieved from his post QC top cop, Brig. Gen. Melecio Buslig Jr. for not reporting to his superior about the incident that happened early Monday morning.
Colonel Randy Silvio, the deputy chief for administration, was designated by Aberin as the QCPD Officer-in-Charge, replacing Buslig Jr.
Silvio said, apart from the criminal charges, P/Sgt. Jordan Marzan, a member of QCPD Station 2, will also face administrative charges for conduct unbecoming, grave misconduct and abuse of authority.
“This is part of our effort to weed out police scalawags within our ranks. We will not allow the few undesirables in the service to destroy the good and dedicated service of most police officers,” Aberin said during a press conference yesterday at the QCPD headquarters in Camp Karingal.
Marzan was personally arrested by the QCPD Station 2 commander after gathering evidence against him which is the basis of the warrantless arrest. The cop was immediately stripped of his service firearm and placed under police custody.
He was arrested for violation of Republic Act 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act and violation of domicile. Criminal charges have been prepared for filing before the Q.C. Prosecutor’s Office.
The arrest stemmed from the report of a complainant who posted their ordeal on social media after they had taken actual video of the abuses of the police officer.
The investigation showed that the accused was under the influence of liquor when he forced his way into the residence of the complainant on Caragay Street, in Barangay Damayan, Q.C.
He was reportedly looking for the whereabouts of a person named “Dimple” whom he accused of spreading rumors that he was involved in illegal drugs.
The complainant also alleged that the suspect inflicted physical injuries on her daughter, who is still a minor. A video footage taken during the incident has already gone viral after being uploaded to social media.
Marzan, according to Aberin, had been subjected to an inquest proceeding for a case of unlawful entry of domicile, physical injuries and grave threats.
Maj. Gen. Aberin said the arrest was proof of their ‘zero-tolerance’ policy against policemen involved in all abusive and illegal activities.
“NCRPO’s policy against police officers who are violating the law is non-negotiable. You will be arrested, charged, and removed from the PNP, in accordance with due process of law. There is no second chance for police scalawags,” the official said.
Meanwhile, the QCPD OIC also announced the relief of Maj. Don Don Llapitan of the District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (CIDU), over reports he allowed a lady detainee to see her family at a posh hotel in the city on Good Friday.
Silvio said Llapitan was already relieved the following day, upon learning of the incident as well as other officers on duty when Llapitan was allowed to escort the detainee facing a qualified theft case.
PNP not tolerating abusive cops
The PNP Internal Affairs Service has also taken cognizance of the administrative case to ensure full accountability within the ranks.
“This is not just a case of misconduct—it is a disgraceful betrayal of the people’s trust,” said Gen. Marbil. “Let this be clear: we will not allow any abusive officer to hide behind the badge. If you harm the people you swore to protect, you will be arrested, prosecuted, and expelled from the service. No second chances. No exceptions,” the top cop added.
Gen. Marbil said the relief of Brig. Gen. Buslig is a firm demonstration of command responsibility and a reminder that accountability does not stop at the individual level—it starts at the top.
“We are drawing a hard line. There is no room in the PNP for predators in uniform. The Filipino people deserve peacekeepers, not perpetrators,” he said.
The PNP leadership also assured the public that swift, firm, and lawful action will always be taken against any personnel who violate their oath to serve with honor and integrity. This action echoes President Marcos Jr.’s recent call to cleanse the ranks of government of those who undermine the very institutions they serve, said PNP Public Information Office chief Colonel Randulf T. Tuaño.
“Under this administration, and under my watch, we will rebuild the Filipino people’s faith in their police—not with promises, but with decisive actions,” Marbil stressed. “We will lead by example. Discipline is non-negotiable. Integrity is mandatory. Public trust is sacred,” the PNP chief said.
The PNP encourages the public to continue reporting abuses and misconduct. This is a new era in law enforcement—where impunity ends and justice prevails, said the official. By Alfred Dalizon and Joel dela Torre
