Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri and Senator Raffy Tulfo are seeking a Senate investigation into the rampant road rage incidents
Tulfo and Zubiri filed Senate Resolution No. 769 after Wilfredo Gonzales, a dismissed police officer, was caught on video assaulting and brandishing a gun at a cyclist in Quezon City last Aug. 27.
Earlier, House Deputy Minority Leader and ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro cited a Navotas police operation that killed a 17-year-old due to supposed mistaken identity, a police officer who accidentally shot dead another teenager in Rizal, and the viral road rage incident where an ex-policeman brandished a gun in front of a cyclist.
Gonzales said he and the cyclist went to the police station following the incident and settled the matter. PLEB lawyer-executive officer Rafael Vicente Calinisan said the Station 11 commander of the Quezon City Police District, Lt. Col. Jake Barila has a lot of explaining to do in connection with the gun-toting incident involving former policeman Wilfredo Gonzales as seen in a viral video.
