British man investigated.......
British man is investigated for allowing drunken tourists to ride NAKED on a buffalo as he faces accusations of insulting Philippines culture.
Expat Liam Cox was accused of committing a 'grave scandal' on his carabao tour.
The buffalo was declared the Philippines national animal by Emilio Aguinaldo.
Cox posted pictures of a naked couple riding the beast as nude man watches.
Police are investigating the British national, accusing him of insulting culture.
A British man who has sparked outrage by offering naked buffalo rides for tourists is being investigated by police.
Liam Cox had been running his 'drunken carabao tour' on the remote holiday island of Siargao in the Philippines for several years.
But the expat caused fury earlier this month when he posted pictures online of a nude couple riding one of the beasts while covered in mud.
A naked man was stood watching them fooling around on the buffalo, which was declared the national animal of the Philippines by former president Emilio Aguinaldo.
Police filed a case of 'grave scandal' against the surfer while local officials slammed him for 'disrespecting the culture'.
It is the latest incident of westerners being accused of offensive behaviour in more conservative countries.
Inspector Joel Liong, Chief of Police in Surigao City, said today: 'Police have filed a case against Mr Liam Cox a British national.
'The case against him is that he caused grave scandal by insulting the culture and traditions of the Philippines.
'We have filed the case against him and the people who were involved in the viral pictures. They were seen riding carabao naked and this is very disrespectful.
'The file has been passed to prosecutors who will now decide how to proceed and what punishment will be taken against Liam Cox.
'He admitted that he was involved with the nakedness and said that the group had been drinking a lot of wine and liquor during the day time.'
Cox took the pictures of the drunken guests riding naked on the carabao animal and uploaded to social media.
He then deleted them after outrage from local residents. Police seized the pictures and are using them as evidence in their case against him.
The activity involves tourists getting drunk and riding carabao while being led around by locals. Earlier pictures show a shaven-headed man riding a carabao naked.
Philippines National Police Provincial Director Superintendent Antony Maghari said he had ordered the Chief of Police in General Luna to conduct operation and arrest anyone who posed nude while riding a carabao.
Supt Maghari said: 'Don't disrespect Siargao! The PNP acted after Philippine Councilor's League President and SP Ex-Officio Member Marlon Coro exposed the pictures.'
Cox told local media that he regretted what had happened and apologised for any offence caused.
He said: 'In light of recent events, it has come to our attention that some of the photos from our Carabao Ride that were posted on our social media pages caused quite a public stir.
'We sincerely apologise to anyone whose decency and good custom may have been offended.
'The ones we posted were behind-the-scenes photos of a shoot in the mountains with our friend who is an international tattoo model.
'No private parts nor any indecent pose were shown. Rest assured, consent was given by all participants across all angles of this happenstance. All photos have now been taken down. Again, we are sorry if you felt slighted.'

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
