Security Guard to Face Charges From Ombudsman’s Office Due to His P280-M Bank Savings
The Office of the Ombudsman has been preparing to file a case against a security guard who has P280 million bank savings.
Security guards are employees hired by various business establishments or agencies to secure properties, wealth and individuals. They are usually tasked to implement peace and order under their area of jurisdiction.
Guards are instructed to perform their job properly and observe maximum tolerance at all times. They are also authorized to use their firearms to protect the area in charge of them. However, most security employees are only earning minimum wage, which is quite small to meet the ends.
Ombudsman Samuel said during the Senate Committee on Finance budget hearing that the Office of the Ombudsman is preparing a case against a government employee who has P280 million in his bank account.
Martires mentioned the security guard from a government agency and his wife has both millions of pesos in their bank accounts. He made the statement while discussing government corruption.
The official discussed the issue during the presentation P4.781 billion proposed budget for the year 2023.
“Kayo po ba ay maniniwala na merong isang empleyado na ang kanyang item ay security guard. At ang kanyang deposito sa bank ay P280 million for the past 21 years, At ang kanyang asawa for the past eight years o may deposito sa bank na P179 million? Security guard lang po ‘yung asawa,” Martires said.
When asked regarding the security guard’s agency, Martires respond “‘Yung kaso po na ‘yan ay ipa-file pa lang po namin sa Sandiganbayan.”
