Sa gitna ng nagaganap na COVID-19 crisis sa bansa, 134 barangay officials ang kinasuhan kamakailan dahil sa pagkakasangkot sa mga anomalya na may kinalaman sa pamimigay ng ayuda mula sa pamahalaan sa ilalim ng Social Amelioration Program (SAP).

Sa website ng Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), inanunsyo ng ahensya na parami na nang parami ang mga mamamayang lumalapit sa kanila upang ireklamo ang mga barangay official sa kanilang lugar dahil umano sa katiwaliang may kinalaman sa SAP. Ang nasabing tala, nangangahulugan daw ng 320 percent increase sa mga bilang ng barangay officials na humaharap na ngayon ng criminal charges, na 42 lamang ang kabuuan noong Mayo 20.
“Hindi ninyo matatakasan ang mga panlolokong ginawa ninyo sa pamimigay ng ayuda. Sinira ninyo ang tiwala ng gobyerno at ng inyong mga kabarangay kaya sa kalaunan, sa kulungan ang bagsak ninyo,” dismayadong wika ni DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año.
'Marami pang kakasuhan'
Aniya, may siyam na kaso pang isasampa ang Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation Group (PNP-CIDG) sa mga susunod na araw at kasalukuyan din nitong minamadali ang case build-up ng 86 na kaso. Pinasalamatan ng DILG Chief ang PNP-CIDG dahil sa mabilis na aksyon nito sa mga reklamo mula sa publiko.

Samantala, nagpaabot din ng pasasalamat si DILG Spokesperson and Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya sa Department of Justice at sa Prosecutor General sa pagbibigay order sa lahat ng provincial at city prosecutors na unahin ang preliminary investigation ng mga kaso laban sa mga barangay official na dawit sa SAP anomalies.
“We are grateful to the DOJ and the Prosecutor General for prioritizing these cases. We need to send a strong message to corrupt barangay officials that their criminal activities will not be tolerated,” aniya.
Ilan sa mga kaso
Sa Boac, Marinduque, isang barangay chairman, dalawang barangay kagawad, at SK chairperson ang kinasuhan dahil sa ilegal na pangongolekta ng P50 processing fee mula sa mga SAP beneficiary. May naiulat din na ganitong insidente sa in Binmaley, Pangasinan, kung saan ang kapitan at ang isang tauhan nito ay naireklamo sa pagsingil ng P1,000 mula sa isang residenteng tumanggap ng SAP assistance.
Sa Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur naman, isinuplong ng mga residente ang isang punong barangay dahil sa pagkaltas ng tig-P2,000 mula sa 132 SAP recipients.
Mayroon din mga kinasuhan dahil sa paglalagay ng pangalan ng kani-kanilang mga kamag-anak sa listahan nga SAP beneficiaries kahit hindi naman sila kabilang sa mga "poorest of the poor" at mga nawalan ng pagkakakitaan sa gitna ng lockdown.

![Labor secretary Silvestre Bello III disclosed the reason which prompted his office to suspend anew the issuance of OECs. Bello revealed that some corrupt POEA employees and recruitment agencies make an awful lot of cash through issuance of OEC. They have also been receiving reports of rampant illegal recruitment actvities. Some employees of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) conspire with illegal recruiters for the issuance of overseas employment certificates (OECs), and they become richer by as much as P250,000, according to Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello , but her did not specify if its in a monthly or yearly basis. Sponsored Links DOLE issued a directive suspending the issuance of OEC starting November 13 to December 1 and may be subjected to extension depending on the result of their investigation. As an initial measure to cleanse the POEA and to stop illegal activities, a reshuffle will be implemented. The agency will be subjected to purging and Bello assures taht heads will roll once the investigating committee submits its report. POEA employees involved in irregularities would be charged with violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Law, and possibly large-scale estafa and bribery. “In the meantime, we have to stop the processing of applicants. That’s how serious the problem is. Some people in the POEA are earning a quarter of a million or more in said activities. We would be remiss in our job if we won’t do this,” the Labor chief added. According to Bello, some 75,000 applications of would-be OFWs are affected by the suspension order but said the problem “has to be nip[ped]in the bud or else [it]would further worsen.” He assured aspiring overseas workers though that the suspension is only temporary and acceptance and processing of the OECs would commence as soon as possible. The order will be implemented by the POEA, for compliance by all land-based private recruitment agencies. Last April, Bello also suspended the issuance of exemptions to direct-hire OFWs over reports linking employees of the POEA to alleged irregularities in the processing of documents. It, however, was lifted after a month upon conclusion of investigation of reported corrupt practices in the processing of documents for direct-hire workers.
