In its order, PAOCC Executive Director USec Gilberto DC Cruz, addressed the alleged “mistreatment” of Casio of a Filipino national in a raid conducted on a BPO in Bagac, Bataan.
“This memorandum addresses your alleged involvement in the incident involving the mistreatment of a Filipino national on October 31, 2024, at CENTRAL ONE in Bagac. Bataan. This incident occurred following the execution of a Search Warrant at that location and is reported to have been documented, with the footage now circulating on social media platforms,” the memorandum read.
The memo also ordered Casio to explain in writing the alleged incident within twenty-four hours upon receipt of the document.
The memorandum also contained an order for Casio’s immediate relief pending results of the investigation.
“In order to ensure a comprehensive and fair investigation into this matter, you are hereby directed to submit a written explanation within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving this memorandum,” the memorandum said.
“Furthermore, you are hereby relieved of your responsibilities as spokesperson for PAOCC effective immediately and until the completion of this investigation,” USec Cruz, through the memo, also ordered.
In a recent interview with ABS-CBN News in the morning of November 5, Casio revealed he already submitted an explanation letter where he admitted wrongdoing and expressed willingness to face the consequences of his actions.
“Admittedly naman, mali rin ako sa aking ginawa pero sabi ko nga sa explanation letter na ibinigay ko kahapon, I'm willing to face the music kasi mali rin naman talaga,” Casio said in the ABS-CBN News interview.

In another recent issue, Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero has called on the LTO to name the owner, or its driver, of the SUV with plate number 7 that recently went viral. It can be recalled that the said SUV entered the bus lane and was flagged by traffic enforcers. Instead of submitting themselves to authorities, the SUV’s driver and passengers fled the scene. The incident was captured on video by one of the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation officers and uploaded on the agency’s social media page.
It can be recalled that the video of the SUV bearing the plate number 7 being flagged down by a female enforcer at EDSA Guadalupe Station’s northbound lane, which backed away and escape, has gone viral. According to authorities, this happened Sunday evening, November 3, at past six in the evening. In the video uploaded by the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation, one can see the SUV with plate number 7 trying to go forward even if the female enforcer is already blocking its path. When the enforcer did not budge, the SUV backed up until it reached an open barrier and then turned and fled with the passenger in the back flipping a birdie to the enforcers.
