MANILA – Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Monday urged the Civil Service Commission to set guidelines on what constitutes “insignificant” gifts that may be accepted by government officials.

His statement came in response to a comment by Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission Commissioner Greco Belgica who said in a recent television interview that as much as P100,000 could be “insignificant” for a government employee like him who earns the same amount as his monthly salary.

Asked to respond to Belgica’s statement, Guevarra said there is no definition under the law of what amount is “significant” or “insignificant,” and both terms could be “relative.” Reacting to PACC commissioner Greco Belgica’s comment that P100k gift insignificant for some, SOJ Menardo Guevarra says it depends on purpose, context of gift-giving. Says we have to consider Filipino culture, as long as it’s not meant to influence official action. pic.twitter.com/HSZ13TmcgkGuevarra said the CSC can issue implementing guidelines under the law.

Gawan pa talaga ng guidelines at i post sa pader ng city hall haha

Eh panu umamin pd30 and bato na tumanggap sila.. ngayun gustu niyo baguhin ang batas

Guidelines: minimum gift is 1M, below than that amount is “shame on you”

Proper headline: Corruption is now legal, Guevara sets minimum acceptable amount.
