'Mandarambong' ng SAP na mga barangay official, mananagot, ayon kay DILG Sec. Año
183 barangay officials are under investigation by the PNP-CIDG for alleged anomalies in the distribution of social amelioration program (SAP) cash aid.
DILG Secretary Eduardo Año stated that arrests of corrupt officials are anticipated, as the investigations are ongoing.
The DILG has received numerous complaints through hotlines, prompting action from the Philippine National Police (PNP).
While specific identities are withheld during the investigation, some cases involve multiple complaints against the same barangay officials.
Early arrests have already occurred, including a barangay councilor from Hagonoy, Bulacan, who allegedly withheld P3,000 from the P6,500 cash aid for beneficiaries.
President Duterte's P30,000 bounty for confirmed reports of corruption in barangays reinforces the government's commitment to holding corrupt officials accountable.
