QCPD captain to sue MMDA official over viral video

A police captain, identified as Police Captain Erik Felipe of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD), is planning to file complaints against MMDA Special Operations Group chief Gabriel Go.

The complaints will be for libel and violation of the Data Privacy Act, as confirmed by National Police Commission (Napolcom) Commissioner Atty. Rafael Calinisan.

Calinisan stated that Go's actions, including filming Felipe without consent, constitute a clear violation of the Data Privacy Act and are extremely libelous.

The incident, captured in a viral video, shows Go berating and filming Felipe during a clearing operation in Barangay Teachers Village east.

Felipe was reprimanded by Go for allegedly parking his motorcycle improperly in front of the police station.

Calinisan believes Go should have issued a ticket without berating and filming Felipe, especially after the captain apologized and intended to pay the fine.
