OMBUDSMAN TO FILE CHARGES AGAINST GOVERNMENT SECURITY GUARD WITH P290 MILLION DEPOSIT ON BANK ACCOUNT

 The Ombudsman is preparing to file charges against a security guard for a government agency after it found out a total of P290 million in his bank account after 21 years.



Ombudsman Samuel Martires told the Senate Committee on Finance during the Senate's budget deliberation, adding that the wife of the accused had also a total of P179 million in bank deposits for the past eight years.



“Kayo po ba ay maniniwala na merong isang empleyado na ang kanyang item ay security guard. At ang kanyang deposito sa bank ay P280 million for the past 21 years. At ang kanyang asawa for the past eight years [ay] may deposito sa bangko na P179 million? Security guard lang po ‘yung asawa,” said Martires.




(Would you believe there’s an employee whose job item is security guard, whose bank deposits totaled P280 million for the past 21 years, and his wife for the past eight years had a total of P179 million in bank deposits? Her husband is only a security guard.)



Martires echoed the severity of corruption in the government, which he even thought of quitting his job as an ombudsman.



"Ito po ay talagang malaki kong problema at kung minsan ay gusto ko nang magbitaw sa serbisyo dahil parang wala hong nangyayari sa laban ng gobyerno sa korapsyon,” he said.
