However, she emphasized that charges will be filed based on the legitimate pieces of evidence given by the complaining parties. She said complainants can proceed to the DILG and file their complaints.

Concerned citizens who have provided evidence of irregularities in SAP subsidy distribution have raised some concerns over the expected delay in the resolution of complaints filed by the DILG and the CIDG before the Office of the Ombudsman and the regional courts of litigation against the rude officials.

On September 2020, the DILG recorded 89 barangay captains that were placed in a six-month preventive suspension by the OMB for their alleged involvement in the initial distribution of the SAP.
