Napolcom orders defiant vlogger-cop to answer raps

The National Police Commission (Napolcom) directed Fontillas to file his counter-affidavit within a non-extendable period of five days.

Complaints for grave misconduct and conduct unbecoming of a police officer have been filed against Fontillas, Napolcom Commissioner Rafael Vicente Calinisan said.

"It is time for Fontillas to show that he is mentally fit to be a policeman by answering the cases that were filed against him. Let us put an end to this," Calinisan said. "Man up and face the charges."

Failure on the part of Fontillas to submit a comment means that he waived his right to refute the allegations hurled against him, according to Calinisan.
