The National Police Commission is set to deliberate and make a decision this week on the administrative charges against resigned Patrolman Francis Steve Fontillas, the vlogger cop who derided President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Napolcom Vice-Chairperson and Executive Officer Atty. Ralph Calinisan said the administrative cases of grave misconduct and conduct unbecoming of a police officer against Fontillas will continue despite his resignation.  

"He was accorded due process and was given an opportunity to be heard. His day of reckoning is near," Calinisan said.

“Resignation is no escape to administrative, even criminal, culpability. If dismissal is imposed on him, alongside is his perpetual disqualification to hold any government position."

Fontillas is facing criminal and administrative cases for his online tirades against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. over the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.



His latest post involves a shared video about a supposed scuffle between anti-riot police officers and activists on Labor Day.

The Quezon City Police District earlier said Fontillas exhibited mood swings dating back to 2023. 

It confirmed Fontillas officially resigned from the Philippine National Police effective April 10, 2025.

The irrevocable resignation was approved by National Capital Region Police Office chief Police Major General Anthony Aberin.

“As such, he no longer holds any position or affiliation with the PNP. Whatever views or opinions he now expresses as a private citizen do not, in any way, represent or affect the policies, positions, or operations of the PNP,” it said.
