In an unexpected turn of events, Patrolman Frank Omambac Alemento, a mobile patrol driver at the Talisay City Police Station, was arrested on August 30, 2025, following an incident at the Naga Sports Arena in Barangay South Poblacion.

The incident, which occurred at 1:30 p.m., saw Alemento engaging in a heated argument with an unidentified man from Minglanilla. According to the complaint filed by Dante Lariosa Omambac, the cockpit manager, Alemento was carrying a fighting cock and a beer during the argument.

Master Sgt. Aristeo Tampus, an investigator at the Naga City Police Station, stated that the argument ensued when Alemento was told to pit his rooster, an underdog, in the competition. Alemento reportedly lost his temper, drawing his weapon, and shoving his rooster into the man's face.

In a surprising turn of events, it was the man from Minglanilla who wrestled the weapon from the intoxicated officer. The cockpit manager took the gun from the man, preventing further escalation.

Tampus further stated that the police station was unaware of Alemento having a history of being a difficult or troublesome officer. However, based on the information they gathered, Alemento is known to be talkative and loves to joke around.

The nature of the "something not nice" that Alemento said during the argument is not specified in the article. The unknown man from Minglanilla who clashed with Alemento during the incident has not been publicly identified.

Patrolman Alemento was subsequently arrested by the police responding to the scene. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining professionalism and respect, even in heated situations.
