P100K minor gift for gov’t workers? Depends on a person – Albayalde

Albayalde explained that the value of P100,000 will differ from the monthly salary and integrity of a government worker. For instance, he said, such an amount may appear small for millionaires, but may look like a bag of gold for those with lower salaries.“It depends on the person, on the integrity of the person. It depends on who is saying this and that,” he said in a press briefing at Camp Crame in Quezon City.

The PNP chief was commenting on the remark of Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission Commissioner Greco Belgica, who said in a television interview that an insignificant gift or token that a government worker can accept could be as much as P100,000. Like Albayalde, Belgica noted a specific gift given out of gratitude could either be minor to someone or expensive to others at the same time.

To recall, President Rodrigo Duterte earlier said he sees nothing wrong with police officers accepting gifts from persons who are grateful for their work as law enforcers.Albayalde likewise echoed Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra’s suggestion that the Civil Service Commission should set guidelines on gifts that government workers may accept from private individuals.“Para maging definite na tayo .

He added that discretion of a person would also play a key role on whether to accept the gift or not.For Albayalde, however, P100,000 would be a big amount as it is already over half of his monthly income. Based on the latest salary hike for PNP members, a Police General – a rank given only to a PNP chief – has started receiving this year P149,785 monthly pay.Read Next

CGonzalesINQ That will never be the 1st...2nd...3rd and how about for my....ect..ect..ect...!

CGonzalesINQ Gifts to government officials are blessing in disguise; Bribes disguised as Blessings.

CGonzalesINQ Corrupt minds have a mile of excuses

CGonzalesINQ Oh come on!

CGonzalesINQ Saan po nakalagay diyan na “depende sa tatanggap”?

CGonzalesINQ odialbayalde salamat at niklaro mo na corrupted ang pnppio

CGonzalesINQ Susmaryosep! Garapal!

CGonzalesINQ Their Gifts should be limited to Siopao and Pancit Canton buti pa.

CGonzalesINQ Why will it depend on who will receive the gift? Sir, PUBLIC SERVANTS nga po ang pinag -uusapan dito. Kanya-kanyang justification eh. Pag bawal, bawal. Pag mali, mali. Ano ba!

CGonzalesINQ Sa ibang mga private companies, bawal din ang gift receiving Kasi pwede mabigyan ng pabor ang nagbigay, example from suppliers para mapabilis ang processing ng mga bayad sa kanila.

CGonzalesINQ Kng may threshold pala yan, e pano yung mga favor? Ibg sabhin pede na yun as long as hindi lalagpas s monetary limit o basta walang money involved? More imptly, may amount bang tinutukoy ang batas? Mahirap tlga pag walang legal background o nakalimutan. BAWAL TUMANGGAP PERIOD!

CGonzalesINQ Ask the csc you moron, if you're working with the govt, gifts in cash & in kind is a no, no, gusto na naman nyong paikutan ang batas.

CGonzalesINQ 'Depends' shete!!! Malala na tlaga kayo!

CGonzalesINQ Haha! Depends on the person who will receive the money?! Pag high ranking official, kulang po ba ang P100,000? Eh, gawin nang monthly gift kung kulang..: 😅

CGonzalesINQ Sayang nmn yang stars mo sir...kung kulang nmn sa MORAL.

CGonzalesINQ Sa sagot pa lang alam mo na, na pabor sila, at sila mismo ay mga corrupt.

CGonzalesINQ Lahat na ba ngayon it depends na lang? Burahin na yung mga batas...

CGonzalesINQ Gift is personal its ok. But asking it is a different thing.

CGonzalesINQ Mga GAGO! Accepting gift is also a form of bribery. Galing nga lang kay kumpare, kumare o kamag-anak. Suhol wika nga para proteksyonan, padulas o kaalyado nyo. Puro BUGOK kayo lalu na ang poon Buang Dodirty nyo.

CGonzalesINQ 'It depends'. Is Albayalde suggesting that those involved in corruption use the 'That amount is insignificant to me' defense? There's a reason why a law was made that prohibits government officials from receiving gifts. Pol Medina illustrated that perfectly in one of his skits:

CGonzalesINQ Albayalde unconsciously admitted he supports corruption...👎

CGonzalesINQ All gifts should be taxed .

CGonzalesINQ Ayaw sa kurap ang gobyernong ito pero ang 100k ay insignificant gift pwede. Juice colored.

CGonzalesINQ Kahit sa pagbibigay ng 'lagay', discriminatory pa din ang sistema na umiiral. Masyadong binababoy ng mga nanunungkulan na 'the best and the brightest' sa gobyernong ito ang mga batas na umiiral sa ating bansa! Mga traydor sa bayan!

CGonzalesINQ Meron pong batas laban sa korapsyon at meron din pong tinatawag na delicadeza. Ever heard of it?

CGonzalesINQ That's why the law says NO 'gifts'. No need to argue about whether a gift is excessive or not. And 'gift' is just a different spelling for bribe.

CGonzalesINQ Wala ka talagang bayag na hindot ka! Malinaw na korapsyon yan tapos may pa depende ka pang tanga ka.
