MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Wednesday lamented the bad portrayal of police officers in the action drama series “Ang Probinsyano”.<\/p>\n

“Things are quite unusual here and it gives us a bad impression actually. It’s a bit unfair to PNP when you portray that kind of (bad) activity that doesn’t really happen in our organization,\u201d PNP Chief, Director General Oscar Albayalde, told reporters.<\/p>\n

Albayalde said he plans to write a letter to the Movie Television Review and Classification Board (MTCRB) and the producer of the drama regarding this matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a meeting with the SILG (Secretary of Interior and the Local Government) and it was decided that we will do that (write a letter). We had a previous letter to MTRCB already last September. Now we will be writing both the production outfit and the MTRCB,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

“First, we want to probably have an audience and probably, if they cannot stop that, at least they can change the way they portray the PNP,” he added.<\/p>\n

Albayalde also said the show’s portrayal of the PNP Chief as a villain is far from reality.<\/p>\n

“It’s very disturbing and people see it as if instant justice is acceptable. It’s not. We are a nation of laws, not of men. That is what we want to show, that is why we are giving our comments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

“Ang Probinsyano”, which began airing in 2015, is an action drama based on a 1997 Fernando Poe Jr. film with the same title.<\/p>\n

In the drama, PNP chief Alejandro Terante (played by actor Soliman Cruz) is in cahoots with fictional Vice President Lucas Cabrera (played by Edu Manzano) who is involved in illegal activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
