Manila City Mayor-elect Isko Moreno Domagoso will launch an investigation into the alleged sabotage at Manila Boystown where piles of foodstuffs were found discarded and buried in a ten-feet hole.
The announcement came after Domagoso conducted a surprise inspection at 8:00 am on Monday, June 10 at Manila Boystown following a report from a concerned citizen that food supplies were buried in a hole dug inside the complex.
“Ayon sa report na natanggap natin sa social media, itinapon daw ang mga pagkain na ito para hindi magamit ng susunod na administrasyon,” Domagoso said.
During the inspection, heaps of rice, sugar, coffee, noodles, oatmeal and chocolate were discovered buried inside the hole. The food supplies were already separated from their respective packaging when they were discarded.
Upon examination of the discarded packaging, Domagoso found that the food products were not yet expired.
“Hindi pa pala sira ang mga pagkain na ito. Maayos at mapapakinabangan pa ito ng mga bata at matanda na nakatira sa Boystown na walang makain. Malinaw na isang uri ito ng pagsabotahe sa pamahalaan ng Lungsod ng Maynila,” Domagoso said.
“Gamit ng pamahalaan iyon. Kung itatapon, dapat ipinaalam muna nila sa head ng center, eh hindi pala ipinaalam. Sabotahe ito,” he stressed.
Upon assumption of office in July, the Mayor-elect said an investigation will be immediately launched to hold officials and other personalities involved in the matter accountable.
“Iimbestigahan natin ito at pananagutin natin sa batas ang mga walang hiyang tao na may pakana sa pagsayang ng mga pagkain na ito. Hindi ba nila alam na maraming nagugutom? Hindi na ba sila nahabag sa katayuan ng mga walang makain?” he said.
