Mayor Joy Belmonte, sinampahan ng kaso dahil umano sa biniling overpriced food packs

ni Jasmin Joy Evangelista | October 19, 2021



Sinampahan ng reklamong plunder at graft si Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte kaugnay ng pagbili umano ng overpriced food items na ipi­namigay sa mga residente ng lungsod na naapek­tuhan ng COVID-19 pandemic noong nakaraang taon.


Ito ay inihain ni John Chiong, isang anti-corruption advocate, founder at national commander ng Task Force Kasanag.


Bukod kay Belmonte, kasama sa reklamo sina Ruby Manangu, officer-in-charge ng Accounting Department ng Quezon City government, Angelica Solis, kinatawan ng LXS Trading at iba pang hindi pa batid ang pagkakakilanlan.


Bumili umano ang Quezon City government ng 250,000 food packs sa halagang P1,149.90 bawat isa o kabuuang P287 milyon sa LXS Trading at hindi raw inilagay sa Purchase Order (PO) ang presyo ng bawat item.


Kung bibilhin daw ang mga ito sa retail store ay lumalabas na P715 lamang bawat food pack.


Ayon naman sa kampo ng alkalde, isa lamang umano itong black propaganda.


“We are confident that in a proper court of law, these cases will be exposed for exactly what they are: tools for distraction and black propaganda. The QC government strictly adheres to all the provisions of Republic Act 9184 or the Procurement Act, and in fact received the highest Commission on Audit rating for the year 2020. We are positive that this complaint will be dismissed, and our names vindicated,” ani City legal officer Orlando Casimiro.
