Policewoman not filing charges vs Honeylet
The Philippine National Police (PNP) stated that the Special Action Force (SAF) officer who was allegedly hit by Honeylet Avanceña, partner of former President Rodrigo Duterte, has decided not to file a direct assault case.
PNP spokesperson Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo confirmed the officer's personal decision, citing that such incidents are part of the hazards of the job.
Avanceña reportedly hit the policewoman with a cellphone during a commotion as authorities served an arrest warrant from the ICC against Duterte for crimes against humanity related to his drug war.
The policewoman sustained a lump on her forehead but is expected to recover and return to duty.
The PNP will shoulder the officer's medical needs and will give her a commendation for her service.
