Dear Atty. Paguio and Ms. Benito:

This refers to the complaint received by our Office from one (1) Mr. EDILBERTO R.
GALADO, regarding the alleged illegal activity of security personnel assigned at the
Passenger Terminal Building II Ro-Ro vehicle inspection. Port of Batangas, in Batangas
City, on April 18, 2019, by demanding and/or accepting from port users/riding public one
hundred pesos (Php 100.00) so as to forgo security check and baggage inspection. Mr.
Galado claimed to be an employee of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and is the
driver of a RoRo bound private vehicle Ford Everest, required to undergo vehicle
inspection.

Relative thereto, we would like to inform your good office that we have referred the matter to
ATI Batangas, Inc. (ATIB), in a letter dated May 02, 2019 (Annex “A”), considering that the
Operations, Management, Maintenance and Development of Phase I, Port of Batangas,
including RORO services, is under its responsibility by virtue of its Contract with PPA dated
October 2, 2015. We have directed ATIB to conduct investigation on the matter and submit
report and action taken thereon.

Correspondingly, the Manager of ATIB, Mr. Peter Francis A. Dimayuga, submitted reply
dated May 25, 2019 (Annex “B”), together with the Investigation Report (Annex “C”) and
pertinent documents, notably the “Salaysay” of Mr. Christian Plata of the Bureau of Animal
Industry assigned at the Port of Batangas, and the “Salaysay” of Mr. John Alfred Rada,
ATIB Security Guard assigned at PTB II, Port of Batangas (Annexes “D” and “E”,
respectively), which are all self-explanatory.

As Mr. Galado claimed affiliation with the Department, we respectfully refer the matter to
your good office, for proper endorsement to Mr. Galado.

Very truly yours.

complaint landed to DOTr regarding the security guards who forego baggage
inspection yesterday (April 18, 2019) for a fee of PI00.00.

IV. DISCUSSIONS/FINDINGS

7. The complainant was anonymous (not identified by name and no formal filling of
complaint). Upon received the email on the above reference, undersigned CSO
investigate the matters to validate the veracity of anonymous complaint. An
inquiry learned to the security guards posted in baggage inspection at Blue Gate,
Passenger Terminal 2 & 3, private and bus inspection, all of them stated that
they did not do such allegations as they know the policy of Asian Terminals Inc.
all security personnel stated, they will not exchange their job for the PI 00.00.

8. This pertains to the ongoing investigation one (1) security personnel identified as
SG John Alfred Rada stated that around 2 to 3am of April 18, 2019, at PTB2
private vehicle inspection area he conducted inspection to the black ford Everest
 vehicle while ongoing inspection he noticed the dog inside of the said vehicle and
then he asked the driver/dog owner about the documents of said dog, but the
driver did not present any supported documents, the said driver offers P100 to
the said guard in exchange on the inspection stub to allow his dog onboard the
vessel, but the security personnel refuse to accept the offer of the said driver,
afterwards, the driver introduced himself (TAGA DOTr AKO) SG Rada advised
the driver to go at quarantine. SG Rada called the attention of Livestock inspector
Mr. Christian Plata the duty quarantine personnel. See attached statement of
SG Rada. ~

9. For the ongoing progress investigation, the undersigned coordinate to bureau of

Plata stated to his written statement, that SG Rada called my attention that the
black ford Everest vehicle carrying undocumented dog. according, (to SG Rada
the driver offered P100 in exchange to the inspection stub, but SG Rada refused
to accept the bribe and decided to report to me.) When I talked to the driver/dog
owner, right and then he introduced himself to me (TAGA DOTr AKO) then
asking to allow him, but I did not allow, the dog owner stated (“HUWAG MO
HINTAYIN NA TUMAWAG AKO NG PADRINO”). I told him I want the
vaccination record of your dog. Another threatening word from the dog owner,
(WAG MO HINTAYIN MAGKABANGGAAN TAYO KAYA PAYAGAN MUNA
AKO). but still I did not allow, I decided to invite him to quarantine office and also
advised him to send the vaccination records of his dog thru email to process the
shipping permit. The dog owner identified as Mr. Edilberto R. Galado, residing at
Laonglaan, Sampaloc. After few minutes the vaccination records was send to his
messenger and Mr. Sofromo Alvis Jr the permit officer of quarantine issued the
shipping permit. See attached statement of Mr. Plata

CONCLUSION

10. Based on the above facts, the following concluded:

a. As to the issue of veracity for the anonymous complaint of the security

guards who forego baggage inspection for a fee of PI00.00. the
conclusion were supported by the facts that the anonymous complaint was
lack of supported evidence to determine the truth to the involve security
guards.

b. The said anonymous complainant is just making a fabricated information

to our security personnel. Because our security personnel are doing the right
things and just implemented the proper procedures for the inspection.

c. The anonymous complainant person is using his authority as government

employee to intimidate the security personnel to allow his undocumented
dogs for paying PI00.

d. That Mr. Edilberto R. Galado was the only person who was inspected by
the duty guards having a rude attitude and claimed to be a DOTr employee.
VI. RECOMMENDATIONS

11. To the higher authority encourage the complainant to write a formal

statement/complaint, that can point out the duty guards who allegedly forego the
baggage inspection for P100.00 so we can take immediate action against the
guard.

12. The undersigned immediately reshuffled the assigned guards in baggage

inspection while the investigation is ongoing.

13. The anonymous complainant should appear to this office to formally file a
complaint and properly identified the miscreant/s in order to well address and
closed this issue and might as well, be penalized the culprit and to avoid recurring
of the said glitch.
