The Facebook post of a model named Alyzza Agustin recently went viral.
In the post, which was accompanied by images of a police officer’s alleged business card, Agustin wrote: “Nahuli nanaman ako dahil coding but because of you, Boss Alex, wala ng huli huli. Thank you so much sa napaka useful mong card with matching dedication pa #happykid.”
Needless to say, many of her followers had negative reactions.
The rest, as they say, is fast becoming a social media cautionary tale.
“On Tuesday, September 30, Police Chief Supt. Alexander Ignacio on denied that he personally knows Agustin, who drew flak over her Facebook post about escaping penalty for a traffic violation by flashing the cop’s business card,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
The report noted: “Ignacio, who is currently in Malaysia for an ASEAN police conference, said the business card used by Agustin was not an official card representing his office.”
Ignacio stated: “First of all, I categorically deny that I personally know Alyzza Agustin, who claimed that she used my business card to avoid getting a traffic citation.”
He added: “I am a Chief Superintendent (1 star rank) and not a director (2 stars),” he noted.
Ignacio also pointed out that “Agustin is not his executive assistant, and there is no such position in his office.”
“I will not tolerate the use of my business card, the facilities of my office or the privileges of my rank for unlawful purposes,” Ignacio declared.
ABS-CBN’s Bandila later reported that Agustin had taken down the Facebook post that started the controversy. The model also reportedly apologized for what she did.
