Jonathan Cellona, ABS-CBN News </div>MANILA — The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) has ordered the dismissal of a police major who is an instructor at the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) in Silang, Cavite, after he was found guilty of Grave Misconduct and Conduct Unbecoming of a Police Officer.The case stemmed from a sexual assault complaint filed by a PNPA cadet, who accused the officer of forcing him to perform oral sex inside the officer’s quarters on July 31.According to the investigation, responding officers found the cadet visibly distressed when they arrived at the scene.Their sworn statements supported the allegations against the police major.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/regions/2025/8/22/pnpa-tactical-officer-faces-formal-charges-of-grave-misconduct-sexual-assault-1600">PNPA tactical officer faces formal charges of grave misconduct, sexual assault </a></div>In its decision, NAPOLCOM ruled that the official abused his authority as a superior officer to obtain sexual gratification, constituting Grave Misconduct under Article 336 of the Revised Penal Code (Acts of Lasciviousness).The commission said his actions were a serious breach of ethical standards and brought dishonor to both the PNPA and the Philippine National Police.&quot;The NAPOLCOM will never condone any act of sexual misconduct by anyone in the police force, regardless of rank,&quot; said NAPOLCOM chief Commissioner Rafael Vicente Calinisan in a statement.&quot;His acts are despicable and should be strongly condemned and punished. He is unfit to continue wearing the police uniform,” Calinisan also said.The NAPOLCOM official stressed that the police officer’s dismissal affirms the commission’s zero-tolerance policy on immorality and abuse of power within the police service.
