Army chief impersonator in supplier scam fall
By J.Lo
” Philippine Army has come long way in professionalizing our ranks… this successful joint operation demonstrates our unwavering commitment to safeguarding the integrity of Army,” Army Spokesperson Col. Louie Dema-ala said Law enforcement authorities have arrested two men in Pampanga for impersonating Army Chief Lt. Gen. Roy M. Galido and defrauding government suppliers.
Suspects , Antonio Oreño Cerbito and Ariel Oreño, were apprehended during joint operation by Philippine Army and Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) in Barangay Mapalad, Arayat, Pampanga.
The pair allegedly masterminded scam targeting government suppliers by sending fraudulent messages through fake social media accounts pretending to be Galido, according to statement by Army chief’s public affairs office on Tuesday, March 4. They demanded “representation fees” from project holders and suppliers, exploiting Army’s name for personal gain.
Both suspects now face multiple charges including illegal usurpation, illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, and possession of illegal drugs. They will remain in PNP-CIDG custody as investigation continues.
Philippine Army has issued public reminder that no personnel, regardless of rank, is authorized to request monetary payments for any transaction. PA also does not collect fees from applicants during their recruitment process.
“Arrest of these suspects underscores Army’s zero tolerance for fraud, especially schemes that gravely undermine integrity of our organization,” Dema-ala added.
