In another development Senator Ronald Dela Rosa commended the Philippine National Police (PNP) for its revocation of the gun privileges of Wilfredo Gonzales, the dismissed policeman who assaulted and threatened with a gun a cyclist in Quezon City.

But Southern Police District (SPD) chief Brig. Gen. Roderick Mariano said the biker, identified as Angelito Rencio has turned himself in to avoid further complications of the case and for his own safety.

Rencio was placed under the custody of the Makati City police.

The motorcycle-riding man who was involved in a road rage in Makati City with a policeman has surrendered to the Southern Police District. But  SPD director Brig. Gen. Roderick Mariano said Angelito Rencio surrendered to SPD headquarters Thursday night and is now under the custody of the Makati City Police Station.

The video showed Rencio in a scuffle with SSgt. Marsan Dolipas of the Pasay City following their altercation on Aug. 25 at the Osmeña in Barangay Pio del Pilar, Makati.

“The SPD and the Makati police have launched an investigation into the incident,” Mariano said.

He said a complaint was filed against Rencio by the Makati police for alleged violation of the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act), usurpation of authority, and resisting arrest.

The two were brought to Makati Police Substation 3 for questioning.

At the substation, Rencio, who identified himself as a member of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAF), surrendered his gun and requested to go home supposedly to get the documents of his firearm, which according to SPD, should not have been allowed.

The desk officer was relieved for allowing Rencio to leave the police station.

Later, AFP officials denied Rencio’s claim that he was an ISAFP officer.

“It is imperative to seek a comprehensive understanding of the entire incident, including the events that transpired before and after the video was taken. As a law enforcement agency, we are committed to conducting a thorough and impartial investigation to gather all relev

The Makati recent followed that of a similar road rage captured on video in Quezon City involving a cyclist and a former policeman. The incident resulted in the resignation of the Quezon City police district commander.

The individual is currently under the custody of the Makati City Police.
