The two riders caught doing motorcycle stunts along a national road in Zambales are policemen, PNP Chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said on Thursday, as he ordered an investigation into the incident.
The duo violated road regulations, said Eleazar, who was tagged by some netizens in the viral video.
Eleazar identified the "kamote riders" as Chief Master Sergeant Israel Bondoc and Master Sergeant Manuel Tolentino, assigned at the Police Regional Office 3 or Central Luzon.
“May tamang lugar sa mga ganitong klaseng gawain at kailanman ay hindi kasama ang mga pampublikong kalsada dahil maari itong magdulot ng aksidente na ikakapahamak ng mga motorista at ng iba pa nating mga kababayan,” Eleazar said.
"Binabalaan din natin ang mga pulis na motorcycle riders na huwag tularan ang mga iresponsable at payasong riders na ito."
