A former bank executive on Friday filed a graft complaint against the Presidential Commission on Good Governance (PCGG) head Jose Agbayani before the Office of the Ombudsman.
Lucy Lapinig, ex-accounting head of the UCPB CIIF Foundation Inc., said Agbayani appointed employee Mark Abelon without the desired letter from the Office of the President during the election ban on March 29, 2022.
On June 6, 2022, and Jan. 11, 2023, Agbayani allegedly appointed another PCGG employees — Stephen Tanchuling and Sherwin Jan as director/trustee of Cocofinance and Cocofoundation without a letter from the Office of the President.
Lapinig claimed on March 31, 2023, Agbayani wanted a monthly regular meeting with a P20,000 per diem to the PCGG directors and observers each, and that he “pushed for the management
to hire his referral, friend/kumpadre, a 70-year-old consultant, with a monthly salary of P120,000.”
She said the PCGG chairperson violated Section 3 of Republic Act 3019.
