EXECUTIVE Secretary Salvador Medialdea on Thursday warned the public against attempts by “unscrupulous individuals” to use his office to solicit funds.
“In particular, please be warned that the Office of the President (OP) or the OES has not authorized any person to solicit money or other things of value from the public in exchange for a position in government,” Medialdea said.
Last year, Palace spokesman Salvador Panelo said that there were individuals who were using his name and his office to ask for money as well.
Panelo ultimately deactivated his social media accounts after learning of the modus operandi.
In February, the National Bureau of Investigation arrested the person who was posing as Panelo in an entrapment operation. RALPH VILLANUEVA
