NewsTranscript
00:00 We will talk to the chief of QCPD, Prince Brigadier General Nicolás Torre III, where he was caught in a viral video where a former police officer was shot and stabbed.
00:12 Good morning.
00:14 Good morning Egan and to all your listeners.
00:17 Is there a case close to the incident of the shooting and stabbing of Wilfredo Gonzales, a retired police officer?
00:27 To be honest, there's no case close. It's a case old because we know where the suspect is and what he did.
00:37 We are just waiting for the complainant to continue the case and if he wants to file a complaint.
00:43 Even if there's a settlement, General?
00:45 It depends on him. There's no stopping him. If he wants to change his mind, there's no problem with that.
00:57 Have you talked to the victim, the cyclist?
01:01 Not yet. I'm waiting.
01:03 I'm hearing from social media that he has a lawyer. We will contact him and request him to file a complaint today so he can finish his nonsense that he doesn't want to file a police report.
01:21 But Mr. Gonzales, you have talked to the two cyclists' accomplices.
01:26 Yes, Egan.
01:28 Did Mr. Gonzales mention their settlement in the press con?
01:36 Yes. Mr. Gonzales mentioned their settlement yesterday. Actually, we have a copy because the Police Station 11 has a copy.
01:48 But if the settlement is like that, the case might not be continued General. What's the process?
01:55 Essentially, the police cannot move without a complainant.
02:00 But it appears that Attorney Raymond Fortun has posted on Facebook that he's saying it's a public crime.
02:06 So today, we will reach out to him and we will ask him to stand in as a complainant so we can file a case.
02:11 Answer your questions. You were supposed to be Mr. Gonzales' lawyer yesterday General.
02:17 When did I become his lawyer?
02:21 Why? I haven't seen your social media. You're doing a lot of things.
02:29 Maybe because I'm an ex-police. They thought I would give a favor.
02:34 This is yesterday Egan. They're asking why did you host a press conference. You're like Mr. Gonzales.
02:41 The truth is, like what Mr. Gonzales said, he saw your post on social media and he surrendered to me here in Camp Karingal.
02:50 The media found out. GMA came here, ABS came here, CNN came here, and I think four major networks are here.
03:04 They're outside my office and Gonzales is inside. What can I do?
03:09 You know that Egan is the one who runs the conversation. The media asked me if I can talk to Gonzales. What can I do?
03:16 I asked Gonzales if he wants to talk. He said he can talk. He confronted the media and he made a statement yesterday.
03:23 If you didn't confront them, you're also...
03:27 If I didn't confront them, what can I say. The police is protecting me. We have a problem.
03:32 It goes with the territory. We should understand our fellow countrymen.
03:37 We will leave it. We will talk about your general concern. Election period, gun ban. How is the preparation General?
03:44 The gun ban started yesterday, 12-01. We already had checkpoints and launching.
03:51 I delegated to my deputy for operations to talk to COMELEC, together with the other stakeholders,
04:01 on conducting our checkpoints and inspecting other actions regarding our election.
04:09 It's good. We have all systems going.
04:13 Do you have any reminders? We might run out of checkpoints. What should the authorities do?
04:18 It's both ways. The authorities have a job to do.
04:25 My reminder to my fellow countrymen is that you know the law and the operational procedures.
04:32 Make sure that we always work within the limits of the operational procedures.
04:37 To our fellow countrymen, it's just a quirk. A little bit of apology, inconvenience is happening because this is part of the process of our country.
04:49 We will cooperate on the checkpoint. Slow down, open your lights and present the documents when demanded.
04:57 Thank you very much QCP Director, Police Brigadier General Nicolás Torre III. Take care.
05:02 Thank you very much also, Igan.
