An LTFRB (Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board) regional director (RD)and three other LTFRB employees have been fired over corruption charges.
LTFRB Chairman Martin Delgra III last Friday, April 20, personally served the order against Bicol Regional Director Jun Abrazaldo, and promptly appointed Ret. Col. Vladimir Kahulugan as the latter’s replacement.
“We don’t tolerate corruption under this administration. When your top official such as an RD is allegedly involved what can you expect from the entire office? Madaling makahawa yan (It’s contagious),”said Chairman Delgra.
This comes on the heels of a suspension order issued against Atty. Mary Jil Caurel, Hearing Officer IV of LTFRB Bicol over allegations of grave misconduct and other administrative offenses.
Caurel is being accused of accepting bribes to expedite applications for Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC); extorting money in exchange for the release of impounded vehicles; delaying franchise applications; and falsifying entries in her daily time records.
A show cause order against them will also be issued against two of her administrative aides, Christine Yan and Erlisa Sedano, to explain their alleged role in the charges.
Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade has previously directed all offices and agencies under the Department of Transportation to get rid of corrupt officials and employees which he tagged as “termites” in the organization. — UNTV News & Rescue
