DILG Undersecretary for Barangay Operations Martin Diño said that the government’s target are public servants, including barangay officials involved in malversation of public funds, falsification of public documents, ghost deliveries, hiring of ghost employees, and ghost projects, stressing that the DILG has a functional “Bantay Korupsiyon’’ mechanism.
Diño reminded that the DILG merely enforces the law as the Office of the Ombudsman has the authority to suspend or sack government officials from their posts. But in the name of due process, Diño said the DILG will see to it that the charges filed against the barangay officials merit credence, citing that baseless complaints are sometimes hurled against parties of the opposing groups.
