Speaking before reporters on Sunday, August 27, the man identified as Willy Gonzales aired his side after the video of him went viral, insisting that there was more to the story than what was caught on camera. Gonzales, however, did not discuss the details during the 10-minute press conference organized by the Quezon City Police District (QCPD). He also did not categorically apologize to the cyclist.

Of course PNP is willing to organize a presscon for Gonzalez, considering that he is a retired cop.

Sa kaban ng bayan ba na naman kinuha ang pinanggastos sa presscon? Wow, pwede idefund?

jumped out ready to shoot, just couldn't get his flabby gut out of the way quickly enough to draw his piece.
