CAUGHT IN THE ACT: 2 BI OFFICIALS IN WRONGDOING THINK WE’RE GULLIBLE

The 2 Bureau of Immigration (BI) Asst. Commissioners, Michael Robles and Al Argosino, were reported to have been caught by camera (CCTV) in the act of receiving P50 million in bribe money from a representative (ex-Gen. Wally Sombero) of fugitive Jack Lam but they insisted on denying it. They are now claiming (after their wrongdoing was exposed) that it was a legitimate “operation” to flush out and catch would-be bribers in Lam’s group.

Legitimate operation? What operation? I think that they’re just divulging it only after they’ve been exposed! Besides, if it was a legitimate operation then proper, timely and ample notifications (with documentations) should have been done. There’s nothing
but bundles of money and CCTV footage with ex-Gen. Sombero that they can show for that.

They’ve got to be taking the public for gullible. Fraternity brothers and friends or not, Secretary Aguirre should not only fire them for putting him in a bad light but he should file charges against these two corrupt BI officers, too. There should be enough on the CCTV and from the bribers’ mouth to warrant that. He should make an example out of them for besmirching the Duterte administration’s anti-corruption campaign.
