“I have no actual knowledge po doon so maybe I will talk to the in-charge po doon at alamin how it [prank] was carried out, kung ano intention ng program. Baka kasi they want to impress people,” said Sinas in an interview on CNN Philippines, reacting to the widely-criticized prank of the Cebu police.
“I could not say… kasi wala naman iyan sa regular directive [iyong prank], baka initiative lang ng lower units natin. […] Titignan ko muna ma’am. Maybe if it’s good, then we would support but if it already caused anxiety sa mga publiko at sa kababayan natin, I will direct them to stop such practices po,” Sinas added.Elements of police officers pulled a prank by arresting two victims who were later given Christmas presents.because it caused unwanted stress to the victims.
