PRO-8 to Investigation Alleged Drinking Session Inside Police Station Involving Cops on Duty
The Police Regional Office-8 has launched an investigation into reports of an alleged drinking session involving police officers while they were on duty at a police station in Eastern Samar.
The issue quickly drew public attention after photos circulated on social media showing officers allegedly drinking alcohol inside the station during what was said to be a Christmas gathering.
PRO-8 stressed that the Philippine National Police strictly forbids the consumption of alcohol while on duty and inside police facilities.

According to PRO-8, an immediate investigation is now ongoing to find out what really happened. The goal is to verify the circumstances surrounding the incident and identify the personnel involved.
Authorities are carefully reviewing the photos and gathering statements to ensure that the investigation is fair and complete.
Officials also made it clear that if the allegations are proven to be true, those involved will face proper administrative and disciplinary actions based on existing laws and PNP policies.
As the investigation continues, PRO-8 encouraged the public to remain patient and trust the process. They also reiterated their commitment to transparency and accountability to maintain public trust and ensure that police stations remain safe and respectable spaces for the community.
