00:00 CSC said that the MMDA is not allowed to accept a donation of P200,000 from the former Ilocos Sur Governor Chavit Singson.
00:08 According to Commissioner Aileen Lizada of the Civil Service Commission,
00:11 officials and government officials are not allowed to accept gifts, favors, or any monetary value in their duties.
00:19 This is based on the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.
00:24 Yesterday, Singson received money from the MMDA flag ceremony as a tribute to the enforcers who were close to him when his convoy passed by Edsa Busway.
00:34 In an interview with MMDA Acting Chairman Atty. Romando Artes, he again denied that the money was a donation and not a reward.
00:43 They said that they received it and that it will go to the agency's fund and not to their employees.
00:52 He's confusing us because we received it as a reward, not a donation to our agency and it will not go to our employees.
01:04 There is no strings attached. The Governor paid the loan ticket of P5,000. He paid it before he donated.
