Kasanap sues Benguet Vice Gov for graft and corruption
By J.Lo
Benguet Vice Gov. Ericson Felipe is in hot water after civil society organization sued him at Ombudsman for graft and corruption in connection with official’s majority stake at firm that obtained government contracts.
Task Force Kasanag (TFK) filed complaint against Felipe for allegedly violating provisions of Republic Act 3019 or Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and RA 6713 or “Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees” because they claimed Felipe owns 60% stake in private construction firm Tagel Corporation worth P300 million, used his position to secure substantial number of government contracts.
TFK claimed Tagel Corporation was awarded 30 government contracts between 2022 and 2023, amounting to total of P1.35 billion.
TFK emphasized there is potential conflict of interest, as it raises questions about transparency and accountability in allocation of public contracts.
According to TKF, complaint highlights importance of public interest, emphasizing accountability for public officials.
TFK stressed decision to file complaint is part of their ongoing commitment to safeguard public from corruption and government abuse and believe this action is necessary to ensure public resources are protected from misuse and that there is transparency in government’s dealings.
By filing this complaint, TFK is sending message to public assurance that there is still someone doing appropriate and necessary legal measures to protect people’s money from corruption and moving for transparency in the government.
TFK remains committed to safeguard public from corruption and government abuses.
Felipe has not responded to attempts to get his comments on the complaint against him.
ISKUP!
