“In this time of pandemic, corruption has no place in Western Visayas” Pamuspusan said in a statement. According to the police official, the investigation stemmed from a text message sent by a concerned citizen citing irregularities allegedly committed by the village chief and the MSWD officer. He said the complainant revealed that Ferrer released cash aid to her 13-year-old grandchild and to her well-off relative. The complainant also alleged that the village chief has “bias” in selecting the beneficiaries for the cash aid in his locality, added Pamuspusan. He later offered P30,000 for any information that could lead to the discovery of an anomaly in the SAP cash aid distribution.
