Local officials who are misappropriating funds meant for poor Filipinos affected by the coronavirus disease pandemic will be jailed, Malacañang said.
In a virtual presser Monday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque encouraged the public to report to the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) anomalies in the distribution of cash assistance under the Social Amelioration Program (SAP).
“Nagkaroon na ng pag-utos sa CIDG, sila na ang itinalaga para tumagnggap ng reklamo gaya nito. Pumunta kayo sa CIDG at huhulihin natin ang mga opisyales na yan,” said Roque.
“Kung meron pang espasyo doon sa ginawa nating mga sentro para sa may sakit at hindi sapat ang kulungan, doon sila ikukulong. Kinakailangan ikulong sila ng maturuan ng leksyon na ‘wag kanain ang ayuda na nakalaan para sa mga mahihirap sa ating lipunan,” he added.
Earlier, President Rodrigo Duterte offered a P30,000 reward for anyone who can give information on local government officials stealing financial aid meant for the poor.
Beneficiaries under the SAP receive cash assistance ranging from P5,000 to P8,000 during the lockdown to mitigate the socio-economic impact of the health crisis.
