Is there corruption in Tabuk City? Mayoral Candidates say…

Updated: Apr 12, 2022


Tabuk City, Kalinga – The City Mayoral candidates in Tabuk faced the public on April 05, 2022 through the Voter's Education and Media Forum conducted by the City Public Information Office (CPIO).


During the forum, Guru Press Cordillera asked this question, “Do you think corruption is a problem in the city? How do we solve it?”

DAO-AS' RESPONSE


Incumbent Vice-Mayor Bernard Glenn ‘Pio’ Dao-as answered ‘yes,’ claiming that corruption is the main problem in the city government and that he has been trying to put in check this problem.


“Wen, ket dayta corruption ngamin a mangmangyari ditoy siyudad tayo ket isu dayta ti main a problema tayo ditoy siyudad tayo a Tabuk ket isu met dayta diay kunak a sipud pay idi ket linablabanan tayo dayta corruption a mangmangyari babaen ti panangdillaw tayo, panagi-file tayo kadagiti naduma-duma a kaso, a puro corruption iti agdama nga administration tayo ta diay kas kunak, milyones dayta a ma-anomalya a transaction, ket kas makita yu met tatta ket diay fertilizer scam a diay, P10 million ken dinis-allow ti COA diay ket ipapaisubli na ti gobyerno tayo ket manu ngay a taga-Tabuk, a kailyan tayo a matulungan na dayta nga milyones,” stressed Dao-as.

ESTRANERO'S RESPONSE


During the second part of the forum, Mayor Darwin Estrañero, on the other hand, said that corruption is not a problem in Tabuk City as this, he believes, is not even happening.


“I don’t think there’s corruption in the City of Tabuk as accused by the man or candidate you interviewed a while ago. So those are just pure accusations and it can be proven that there’s a problem of corruption if there was already a decision, so the removal of a certain public official can only be done by the Ombudsman, so once you will be removed by the Ombudsman, that’s the time that you can say that you are guilty of the accusation… as long as it’s not yet decided by higher or proper authorities, I don’t think that you can say that there was corruption and we really hate corruption here so awan dayta, siguro awan pay lang ti corruption ditoy city, but ti ibagbaga da, dagita ket politically motivated lang dagita,” stated Estrañero.
