Cop in Marikina road rage incident sackedMembers of the Manila Police District (MPD) prepare for deployment at their headquarters in Ermita, Manila on January 3, 2025. MANILA, Philippines — A police officer seen in a video confronting a fire truck driver for blowing the truck’s horn in Marikina was sacked from his post on Friday. Tecson said the incident appears to be a misunderstanding, noting that it was unclear if the fire truck driver intended to proceed or stop. “The truck followed closely and suddenly sounded its horn loudly, which startled the police officer,” Tecson said, adding that the officer and the fire truck owner have settled the incident amicably. Although the officers had said that they were serving a warrant of arrest at the time of the incident, De Sesto insisted on their relief.
