Police vlogger Patrolman Francis Steve Fontillas has been dismissed from service following summary dismissal proceedings by the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM).
The NAPOLCOM en banc voted unanimously to remove Fontillas, finding him guilty of grave misconduct, conduct unbecoming of a police officer, and disloyalty to the government.
In addition to dismissal, he was also perpetually disqualified from holding any public office.
“Fontillas’ resignation did not halt the administrative and criminal cases against him,” said NAPOLCOM Commissioner Rafael Vicente Calinisan. “Jurisdiction had already been established prior to his resignation.”
Fontillas is facing administrative complaints over his social media posts criticizing the International Criminal Court’s arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
