00:00 The former police officer who went viral for the killing of a cyclist in Quezon City, said that he should be charged.
00:11 That is even though the two have already settled their case and the cyclist does not want to file a criminal case.
00:17 There is a report from Jun Veneracion.
00:19 In this viral video, you can see the intersection of a red car and a cyclist.
00:27 The driver of the car got out of the car and was hit by the cyclist.
00:31 He even pulled the gun.
00:33 This happened on August 8, but it was only yesterday that it spread on social media.
00:38 Yesterday, the driver of the car, Wilfredo Gonzalez, also surrendered.
00:42 We went to the police station where we talked, apologized, and agreed to forget what happened.
00:51 We made a written agreement and I am holding the copy now.
00:58 The cyclist did not want to talk to the media, but he told the bike enthusiast, attorney Raymond Fortuna, what happened.
01:07 He was forced to bring him to the nearby police station and was even fined for the car.
01:13 The cyclist was forced to sign a written agreement.
01:19 Number one, he admitted that he was the one who was guilty.
01:22 Number two, he had to pay P500.
01:26 He also wanted to take the entire amount of money in his wallet, P800.
01:31 But he just talked, he was begging because he was so hungry.
01:36 He was craving for fear.
01:39 He said, "I can just leave the P300 so that he can eat when he gets out of the police station."
01:45 The cyclist did not want to file a criminal case because of fear.
01:49 According to the PNP, former police officer Gonzalez, he was dismissed on order in 2017.
01:55 He retired in 2016, so he was affected by his benefits.
01:59 The PNP cancelled his license, firearm registration, and permit to carry of Gonzalez.
02:05 He was also fined for three more guns that had his name on them.
02:08 The PNP Civil Security Group explained that possession of firearms is a privilege and not an absolute right.
02:14 That's why he can get it back even if there's no due process, especially if there's a basis.
02:18 If we file a criminal case, it will be the people of the Philippines.
02:22 It's allowed but like I said, there should be a private complainant.
02:28 According to the DILG, Gonzalez should be charged and it can be done even if the cyclist did not want to file a criminal case.
02:35 According to the LTO, Gonzalez's car was registered to another person.
02:39 Both of them called Gonzalez and the car owner until August 31.
02:45 The LTO found two violations in the incident.
02:48 First, improper person to operate a vehicle.
02:51 And second, reckless driving.
02:54 The red car was also alarmed by the LTO.
02:57 City Mayor Joy Belmonte filed a case against the cyclist who approached them to answer Gonzalez,
03:05 who is a threat to the society.
03:08 She will claim that he will be given legal assistance and protection.
03:12 Jhon Vanara Show is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
