A POLICE officer assigned at the Malolos City Police Station in Malolos City, Bulacan was relieved from his post following a viral video showing him hurting his live-in partner.
The accused cop, who is assigned at the Malolos City Mobile Patrol Unit, is facing criminal and administrative charges.
A report to Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) director Jess Mendez by the Bulacan Police Provincial Office showed the incident involved a 26-year-old woman identified only as “Aira” and the 30-year-old suspect “Jerome,” who was said to be the police station’s vlogger who has thousands of followers.
The beating reportedly occurred at the accused cop’s house in Bgy. Sto. Rosario, Malolos City on March 12, 2026.
However, the incident was reported to authorities only on May 10 after videos of the alleged assault circulated online.
Personnel of the Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD) immediately conducted verification and investigation after watching the videos of the reported physical assault.
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said they are taking the incident with utmost seriousness.
Nartatez said the concerned personnel has already been relieved from post, placed under restrictive custody, and disarmed pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation for violation of Republic Act 9262 or the Violence Against Women and their Children Act.
Meanwhile, National Police Commission (Napolcom) Vice Chairman and Executive Officer, Commissioner Rafael Calinisan said they will not allow any form of violence against any woman, or any person.
“We will make sure that justice is served. This is an open-and-shut case,” Calinisan said.
