Some employees of the Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC) are considering filing a formal complaint at the police following the discovery of missing cash inside their offices.

Deo Macalma, MBC vice president, bared that some R60,000 worth of cash kept inside a drawer was allegedly stolen. The money was intended to buy an equipment, Macalma added.

“’Yung IT (information technology) namin…mabilis na pumasok sa kanyang opisina kasi meron syang P60,000 doon na pambili ng gamit. Abay noong medyo nag fire out na, bukas na rin ang kanyang drawer at nawawala na rin ang kanyang (pera),” Macalma said in a DZMM interview yesterday morning.

On Tuesday, MBC lawyer Rudolph Steve Jularbal reported that Macalma’s Rolex watch and undetermined amount of cash were also believed robbed. The discovery came after Macalma conducted an inventory at his office Monday afternoon.

“Ni-request ni Mr. Macalma kasi na pumunta sa office nya para i-retrieve yung gamit nya. Pag punta nya don, eh bukas yung drawer nya… nakabukas yung drawers saka box ng relo nya nawawala,” said Jularbal, vice president of Legal and Regulatory Compliance Group of MBC.

“Noong pasukin natin ang ating opisina, nagulat [ako] na ‘di naman sunog pero nabuksan yung dalawang drawer na naglalaman ng valuables,” Macalma said in the radio interview.

Both Macalma and Jularbal believe that it could not be outsiders who might have carted away the valuables inside the MBC office as their security personnel were immediately deployed to guard the area.

“Imposibleng may makikialam na outsider dahil may instruction kami sa mga guwardiya namin na walang ibang makakapasok,” Macalma said.

“Kahit kaming empleyado ‘di makapasok,” he added.

After reporting the incident to Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) chief Leonard Bañago, Macalma said that he was advised to file a complaint at the police to ensure fair and unbiased investigation.

Bañago assured that the fire bureau would also conduct their own investigation on the alleged looting incident.

Aside from BFP firefighters, there were also other fire volunteers who responded to the incident, Bañago clarified.
