(Eagle News) — President Rodrigo Duterte read the names of 89 barangay captains who have been preventively suspended due to anomalies in their distribution of social amelioration funds to those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Duterte said that he had already issued a warning to the barangay captains early on — that they should not touch the funds meant to help poor Filipinos amid the pandemic.
“Now, ito suspendido muna for six months then maghi-hearing sa kaso mo. If you — if a case is filed against you kasi pera ito eh, either pera na binulsa ninyo o hindi niyo ginamit o kung anong kabalastugan ang ginawa niyo sa pera contrary to my injunction na huwag na huwag ninyong gawain ‘yan,” he said.
The President also asked the Office of the Ombudsman to dismiss these village officials if they are found to be guilty of their cases. He said that cases to be filed against these officials would eventually be malversation of public funds.
“Preventive lang ito. Suspendido ka habang iniimbestiga ka. Then at the end of the investigation, if you are good, then you are exonerated. But if you are guilty, I ask — I am asking now the Ombudsman, I’m requesting, most respectfully requesting the Ombudsman to dismiss — dismiss them from the service,” Duterte said.
