Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto called out the “edited” records showing the alleged city government’s P33 million unliquidated cash advances.
A certain “Anthony Torre” posted a supposed public record showing Pasig City’s disbursing officer with unliquidated cash advances worth over P33.7 million.
Torre also urged Sotto to “come out with the truth.”
However, Mayor Vico posted that the supposed public records were “edited.”
“Makikita sa certified record ng City Accountant na less than 576 THOUSAND lang ang unliquidated cash advances ni Ms. Valerie. Ang sabi sa post mo, 33 MILLION pa ito.
Inedit ang dokumento, binura ang liquidations, tapos pinost. Sa madaling salita, kasinungalingan,” he said.
Mayor Vico Sotto added such a post could involve a criminal offense as editing public records is already involved.
“Ilan taon niyo na akong sinisiraan pero di ko naman pinapatulan, dahil kilala ko naman kung sino at ano kayo… Pero yung ganitong klaseng kilusan, aba’y ibang usapan na to… Mukhang criminal offense ang nagawang pag-edit ng public records at paggamit nito para mang-akusa ng korapsyon,” he said.
The Pasig Mayor added that there are no problems with cash advances liquidated properly and considered the last option.
Vico Sotto slams ‘edited’ liquidation records
“Nung naupo ako (July 2019), may mga empleyado ang City Hall na milyon-milyon ang Unliquidated cash advance, yung isa halos 100M. Pero siyempre hindi mo sinilip yun, diba?
(But FYI, we asked the former mayor’s employees to explain. and my team even helped them liquidate it correctly.)
O baka nalilito ka po sa cash advance na pag-bale. Iba yon. haha.
Wala naman kasing problema sa cash advance basta’t last option at mai-liquidate ng maayos. Lalo na sa panahon ng pandemya, may mga bagay na pabigla-biglang nangyayari at mahirap iplano. Iilan lang din naman ang puwede maging Special Disbursing Officer para rito,” he explained.
At the end of his post, Mayor Vico Sotto even teased if Torre’s Facebook account was also hacked.
“O baka naman na-hack ka lang din?” he said.
Former Pasig Mayor Bobby Eusebio earlier claimed that his Facebook account was hacked after his complaints about the lack of Christmas decoration in the city went viral.
