The National Police Commission (Napolcom), in a unanimous en banc decision Saturday, ordered the dismissal from the service of Police Staff Sergeant (PSSg) Alexis Karil O. Sabater for willfully and unlawfully posting sexually suggestive, indecent, and immoral content on a publicly accessible social media account under the name “Semi Pogi.”
The videos were uploaded between April and June 2025.
Napolcom chief Commissioner Rafael Vicente R. Calinisan emphasized the seriousness of the misconduct, stating: “I personally ordered a motu proprio investigation into this. This is clearly an insult to the dignity of women — and he is a police officer at that. Let this be a warning to vloggers: use your influence with prudence and be responsible when posting on social media.”
The videos documented acts such as holding papers with vulgar slang terms for sexual intercourse, slapping a woman and forcing her to eat food, simulating thrusting motions suggestive of sexual activity, showing women receiving massages with visible breast exposure, and depicting children drinking milk while he consumed beer.
Despite explicit prohibitions under PNP Memorandum Circular 2024-077, which bars the unauthorized use of police uniforms in social media content, Sabater appeared in uniform in several of the videos and publicly identified himself as a police officer on his Facebook page.
He was also not a member of the officially recognized PNP content creator or vlogger team.
In his defense, P/SSg Sabater claimed that the videos were meant solely for personal expression and entertainment, arguing that he did not intend to promote immorality or damage the reputation of the police service.
He further stated that he produced online content to earn modest supplementary income for his family and had already deleted the videos once concerns were raised.
