Dr. Chao-Tiao Yumol filed complaints of grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service, violation of Section 4 of Republic Act No. 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees, and violation of Section 3e of Republic Act No. 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act at the Office of the Ombudsman.However, Belgica dismissed the complaint in August, saying if Yumol indeed has evidence against the Furigays, he should simply file a case since the PACC has no jurisdiction on elected officials. Another complaint was filed against the same officials at the PACC, but was also dismissed for the same reason.

Belgica clarifies context behind controversial remark on P100K gift to gov?t workers

Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) Commissioner Greco Belgica on Wednesday pointed out that his comment on P100,000 being an ?insignificant gift? for government workers was twisted and taken out of context. In a statement on Tuesday, Belgica said his intention in making the remark was only meant to ?point out what the law provides and not to justify bribery or corruption.? Belgica?s controversial remark was made after President Rodrigo Duterte stated that police officers may accept gifts from private individuals if it is given out of gratitude for their job as law enforcers.

"Yung tungkol sa community pantry, alam nyo magandang gawain po yan. Tuloy nyo po yan dahil maraming Pilipino ngayon ang nangangailangan talaga ngayon ng tulong. Pero kung pupulitikahin po nila yan at hahaluan ng mga pagyaya para sa pag-aaklas eh wag nyo pong pakinggan yang mga teroristang yan. Kunin nyo po yung pagkain tapos umalis na kayo dahil yang mga teroristang yan walang gagawing matitino. Pero just the same sa ating mga nakakakita ng community pantry, ang kunin po natin diyan yung lesson na magtulungan dahil talagang sa panahon ngayon ang daming naghihirap."

"Our new relationship with China is different from what we have with the U.S. They are both unique and must be kept as friends. Real friends fight sometimes. But they dont have to stop being friends. If we can be friends to the U.S. why should we be enemies of China? Did not we keep our friendship with the U.S. when they occupied our territories as well? Not one, but several bases. Why fight China, when you are not fighting the U.S.? Why not be friends with China, when we are friends with the U.S.? When you have more Chinese blood in you that American. When you look and think more oriental than western. Then tell me about objectivity and tell me about fairness. Hypocrites!"
