DOJ puts 7 Sara Duterte staff on immigration lookout
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued an Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) against seven officials associated with the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and three former Department of Education officials.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla signed the ILBO following a request from the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.
The order was issued because the officials ignored subpoenas and failed to attend hearings concerning the OVP's confidential funds and budget utilization.
Among those named are OVP Chief of Staff Zuleika Lopez and other OVP personnel.
The new article also revealed that former Department of Education officials Gloria Mercado, Resty Osias, and Michael Poa admitted to receiving envelopes containing cash from the Vice President during the hearings.
The ILBO is a monitoring mechanism and does not restrict travel or compel attendance.
