Malabon Mayor-elect Jeannie Sandoval warned her constituents about an apparent scam purporting to give away aid, land, houses, wages and jobs this coming July 1st.
“Dumating po sa ating kaalaman ang umiikot na Community and Urban Poor Affairs Office (CUPAO) Survey Forms at hinihikayat ang mga residente ng Malabon na sagutin ang mga naturang survey sa pangakong mabibigyan ng ayuda, bahay, lupa, sahod at trabaho,” Sandoval said.
Sandoval reminded her constituents that her term of office has not yet begun and she has nothing to do with the documents offering such promises.
“Sa katunayan, hindi po namin alam kung bakit may nangangakong magbibigay ng ayuda, bahay, lupa, sahod at trabaho. Kung ito po ay nakaloob sa budget ng Malabon City para sa natitirang bahagi ng 2022, mapalad po tayong lahat. Ngunit sa pagkakataon na walang budget, walang bahay at lupa, ayuda, trabaho o sahod ang nakalaan para sa mga sasagot ng survey na ito, niloloko lamang po kayo ng mga nag-iikot at kinukuha lamang ang inyong impormasyon,” Sandoval explained.
Aside from the Urban Poor form, another form targeting senior citizens and PWDs asking for their signatures which again promises benefits are said to be circulating. This form uses the logo of Malabon Citizen Welfare Association Inc.
In view of this, Sandoval reminds her constituents, not to easily believe any sweet promises, especially if there is no proof of its authenticity.
Sandoval will assume office as mayor of Malabon starting June 30th.
