Senator Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito revealed on Tuesday that the former police officer involved in the viral gun-toting incident had a history of 10 previous charges as well as incident reports from his barangay.
During the public hearing of the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs on Tuesday, Ejercito questioned how former police officer Wilfredo Gonzales acquired a permit to carry firearms from the Philippine National Police despite having “anger management issues” and a history of multiple cases in his barangay.
