The TV show "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano" is fictional and is not meant to disparage the Philippine National Police, ABS-CBN said after Director General Oscar Albayalde, PNP chief, complained of its supposedly negative portrayal of cops.

In a statement, ABS-CBN Integrated Corporate Communications head Kane Errol Choa said "the characters, places, and incidents in the program are purely fictitious as stated in the disclaimer aired at the start of the show every night."



"There is no intention to smear the reputation of any organization or portray any person in a negative light," he also said.

According to a report on state-run Philippine News Agency, Albayalde plans to write to the Movie Television Review and Classification Board over the show's supposedly unfair portrayal of police.

"We had a previous letter to MTRCB already last September. Now we will be writing both the production outfit and the MTRCB," he said in the PNA report.

The report cites PNP chief Albayalde as saying "the show's portrayal of the PNP Chief as a villain is far from reality."

In the show, which has been running since 2015, the fictional PNP chief and a similarly fictional vice president are portrayed as working together in illegal activities.

ABS-CBN pointed out that Cardo, the main character of the show, is "a hardworking police officer dedicated to saving lives and serving his fellowmen."
