An ambulance driver of the Talisay City Government accused the brother of Mayor Johnny V. De los Reyes of verbally abusing him in public last Tuesday morning.
Giovanni Villoria Hernani, 32, of Barangay San Isidro went to the police station to file a complaint against Joel De los Reyes, head of the Talisay City Government’s motorpoolsection.
PO2 Jason Del Campo, the desk officer of the Talisay City Police, said that Hernani arrived at their office and narrated the incident.
Hernani is assigned at the Talisay Rescue Emergency Action Team (TREAT) as an ambulance driver.
He told the police that he arrived at the motorpool after re-fueling the ambulance.
Joel asked Hernani what type of fuel was used for the ambulance. His answer apparently angered Joel, who according to Hernani, proceeded to curse him and call him names.
The mayor’s brother also allegedly accused him of being a supporter of the mayor’s opponent, former congressman Eduardo Gullas, and claimed that they want the ambulance to malfunction to discredit the current administration.
Cebu Daily News tried but failed to get the side of De los Reyes.
