PNP chief orders CIDG probe into SAP distribution irregularities

On Tuesday, Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Gen. Archie Gamboa ordered the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) to investigate reported irregularities in the distribution of Social Amelioration Program (SAP) cash aid.

The directive came after Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año requested an inquiry into cases involving erring local executives, with assistance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Bernard Banac stated that CIDG investigators will examine disbursement records, receipts, and other evidence to uncover alleged graft and corruption.

The PNP's Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management will monitor the investigation progress to ensure successful prosecution.
