After MWSS expose, Palace tipped on 'big perks' in other agencies


After President Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III exposed the "questionable" big perks of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System officials in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) Monday, Malacañang received tips about similar perks in other government agencies. Presidential Communications Group official Herminio Coloma said Thursday they have started getting tips from employees of the concerned agencies. "It's highly possible meron pang ibang sitwasyon na (katulad) diyan kung di mas malala pa. Matapos ng SONA ng pangulo, maraming government employees nag-offer ng information tungkol sa kanilang respective agencies. Kailangan natin suriin mabuti para malagyan sa tama (It is highly possible the situation at MWSS exists in other government agencies, and that the situation in other agencies may even be worse. After Aquino's SONA, many employees have offered information about their respective agencies. We are now looking into them and we will set them right)," Coloma said in an interview on dzXL radio. While he did not name the agencies concerned, Coloma said these agencies are all undergoing a "review." He also pointed out many government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) are under the Office of the President. –VVP, GMANews.TV
