Utak ng “appointment scam” timbog sa NBI, gamit ang pangalan ni ES Bersamin

Walang puwang ang mga manloloko sa administrasyong-Marcos Jr.

Pahayag ito ni Executive Sec. Lucas Bersamin matapos maaresto ng mga tauhan ng National Bureau of Investigation ang suspek na nasa likod ng “appointment for sale” scam. Natiklo ang suspek na si John Laurence Rin na nagpakilalang “paboritong pamangkin” umano ni Bersamin at kaya daw ilakad sa Malakanyang ang directorial at undersecretary positions. “I applaud the efforts of the NBI in the apprehension of the suspects allegedly selling appointment using my name and that of the Office of the Executive Secretary. Similarly shameful acts had happened before, and the objective is clearly to deliberately deface the good image of the administration. The acts are intolerable, ” pahayag ni Bersamin. Dagdag pa niya: “We enjoin the public to be circumspect and to be wary of unscrupulous people who are attempting to sell government positions. We assure that the Office of the Executive Secretary shall continue to uphold the good name and image of the Marcos administration by relentlessly running after the perpetrators of similar acts.” Modus ng suspek na magbenta ng pekeng appointments gamit ang pangalan ni Bersamin at kanyang tanggapan. Tiniyak ni Bersamin na hindi hahayaan ng Office of the Executive Sceretary na mabahiran ang pangalan at imahe ng administrasyong Marcos Jr. ng ganitong uri ng kalokohan.
