‘Pastillas’ schemers back to work? Duterte wants them out, says Palace

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte still wants officials and personnel of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) who are linked to the “pastillas scheme” fired, Malacañang said Thursday.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made the comment after Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said the BI employees involved in the bribery scheme have returned to work after serving their six-month preventive suspension.

“Hindi po siguro alam ni Presidente na hindi pa sila nasisante, ang alam niya lang sinuspende,” Roque said during his televised briefing.

“Ang epekto ng kanyang mga binitawang mga salita ay mandato sa DOJ, sa (Commission on Immigration and Deportation), gawin niyo ang lahat para masisante yan sa lalong mabilis na panahon. Hindi katanggap tanggap ang ginawa nilang pastillas scheme, kinakailangan po talaga sibakin sila,” he added.

In his last State of the Nation Address last Monday, Duterte boasted that he sacked officials who allegedly allowed Chinese citizens to enter the Philippines without a visa in exchange for money.
