Employee of Construction Company Accused of Aggressive Behavior on Roadways
Here's a fresh take on your article:
In a shocking turn of events, a Lapu-Lapu City Hall employee found himself in hot water following a road rage incident. Caught on camera, the employee was seen trading blows with a motorist in Barangay Basak on June 18, 2025.
Outgoing Mayor Junard "Ahong" Chan, in a resolute stance, vowed to address this issue, promising to collaborate with the Civil Service Commission. In a Facebook post, he revealed his zero-tolerance policy towards abusive behavior from government employees. "As public servants, we are supposed to be models of kindness, but if we don't live up to that, I'll be the one to take action," Chan said in Cebuano.
The 72-hour clock began ticking as of Thursday afternoon, June 19. By Monday, June 23, the employee should have provided his explanation. Failure to do so within this timeframe could signify a waiver of his right to respond, allowing the case to move forward based on the allegations.
However, if the employee does submit his response by the deadline, the next steps will be decided after meetings between the parties involved. According to City Administrator Danilo Almendras, it will be the complainant who decides whether to settle the matter or press on with the case.
Possible penalties for the employee, as indicated by city officials, could range from dismissal to suspension[1]. If the employee chooses to ignore the deadline, this might result in disciplinary action being taken without his defense.
On the same day as the incident, a blotter report was filed at the local police station for property damage against the City Hall employee by the offended motorist[2]. The investigation continues, with officers gathering evidence and testimonies from witnesses. As of now, no formal charges have been filed, and both parties must navigate the proper channels to pursue their cases.
