PAOCC official in hot water for slapping POGO worker | ABS-CBN News - Video

Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) spokesperson Winston Casio was relieved from his post as he faced an investigation for allegedly slapping a worker of a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO).
Casio explained that during the Oct. 31 raid, the Filipino POGO workers were told that they could co home "because we could not possibly hold 950 Filipinos in our detention facility."
This announcement was followed by "raucous and rowdy" cheers from the workers, Casio said. He said he sent a PAOCC staff member to check the situation but a POGO worker allegedly swore at the officer and flashed his middle finger.
Casio said he summoned the POGO worker and reprimanded him for disrespecting PAOCC. He said he gave the worker two choices: face a complaint for unjust vexation or receive two slaps.
"Sabi ko, 'Sige hindi kita kakasuhan, pero bibigyan kita ng mahinang mag-asawang sampal.' Sabi niya, 'Sir, yung sampal na lang.' So sinampal ko siya, mag-asawa, pak pak. Ang problema, nabigyan ko pa ng apo, naging tatlo," Casio told TeleRadyo Serbisyo.
The official acknowledged that his actions were wrong.
"Nagkamali po talaga ako doon, in all honesty and fairness, uminit ang ulo ko doon," Casio told TeleRadyo Serbisyo.
"Mali talaga yung ginawa ko and I'm willing to face the music," he added.
