Theft at city hall

BULL’S HIT
Rudy Garcia

BAGUIO CITY -- For the nth time, city hall was again struck by thieves. Last Tuesday afternoon, the collection of a lady employee of the city treasurer’s department amounting to around a hundred thousand pesos was taken purportedly by thieves.

The worker said the money was taken without her knowledge and was the handiwork of a person who pretended to be doing transaction at the one-stop business area at city hall.

True or not, the subject employee has more to explain than making excuses. Carelessness, negligence or not, how can an outsider get inside a counter unnoticed and get away without anybody there noticing and calling for help?

In fairness to security guards detailed in that place, they should not be the ones to be blamed but the lady employee herself for negligence is no excuse.

Perhaps Mayor Domogan should talk with city treasurer Thelma Manaois to discuss the best way to deal with this issue. They could even ask assistance from the National Bureau of Investigation to conduct investigation to determine if there was connivance or an inside job for this could be either a salisi or sali na operandi!
