MANILA — Senator Raffy Tulfo wants nothing more than the immediate dismissal of an Angkas rider who allegedly robbed and attempted to rape his passenger.

During the Senate hearing of the Committee on Justice and Human Rights, Tulfo questioned Angkas representative Jauro Castro for only suspending Aurelio Suberia instead of sacking him.

“Bakit suspension lang? Dapat sibakin niyo!” Tulfo said.

In his program, a woman named “Carla” recently complained about the acts of Suberia as he tried to molest her and only stopped upon seeing other people in the area.

In line with this, Tulfo told Castro that Angkas should replace some of its officials, especially those who are not following company policies and are not taking customer complaints seriously.

Castro, for his part, admitted Angkas’ shortcomings and lapses and apologized on behalf of the company.
