MANILA, Philippines - A comment posts by a facebook user named Archie Arevalo and the warning given to him and other Facebook user about posting foul words against police officers are making rounds on the net and facebook.

"Mas mdali mkotongan mga turista pg mgaling s English pulis," Arevalo's reaction to news article about "Criminology students Poor In English". (It's easier for cops to extort money from tourists if they can speak good English.)

The PNP, through a Facebook fan page, replied a warning to Arevalo's post and other facebook users:

"watch your word. Foul word against our police can be use as evidence now to file a case against you in a court of law"

"This is just a warning to those using foul word against our police officers. Foul words against our police officers can be used as evidence now to file a case against you in a court of law. A good example of this is the comment of Mr Archie Arevalo "Mas mdali mkotongan mga turista pg mgaling s english pulis". Beware because we dare."

Presently, the page no longer exists.

PNP spokesman Chief Supt Generoso Cerbo Jr. however said that the statements made on their Facebook page are not official according to Rappler.com.

"Di kami nagrerelease ng statement through Facebook," he said. (We don't release official statements through Facebook.)

The PNP account was already closed.
