Don’t fall for solicitors, DILG warns

DAVAO CITY—The City Government of Davao has warned the public against unscrupulous individuals claiming to be representatives of the Department of the Interior and Local Government and asking money in exchange for projects.

Erwin Alparaque, the chief of Davao City Human Resource Management Office, transmitted an advisory from the DILG addressed to all local chief executives and government functionaries.

The advisory, signed by DILG Secretary Ismael Sueno, said it received reports about “unscrupulous individuals posing as representatives from DILG Central Office soliciting money from local chief executives supposedly to facilitate the funding of project proposals.”
