Barangay Kagawad Danilo Flores of San Agustin, Hagonoy, Bulacan caught in act kicking back the portion of the government’s Social Amelioration Program (SAP) cash assistance to the poor during the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ). 

According to Hagonoy Police Chief Col Roginald Francisco, the arrest order of Flores directly came from President Rodrigo Roa Duterte which was served immediately on Saturday night.

A netizen identified as Lhon Villamayo Perez uploaded the actual video on April 27 where Flores appeared on video distributing cash to the villagers which the same video becomes the evidence of corruption. In the video, Flores explained that the portion of the SAP will go to the mayor. But Perez insisted that the process of SAP distribution was done in a wrong way from which upon insisting of Perez it resulted to an argument between two of them.

Here is the original caption of the video:

According to Flores, portion of the cash assistance will be collected from the beneficiaries and return back to the mayor as he was instructed by Hagonoy Mayor Raulito Manlapaz to collect portion of the SAP cash assistance amounting to P3,500 pesos in order to give to those who did not avail the SAP.

But officials of their town denied the allegation and wash their hands from getting involved from the scandalous cash distribution which was initiated by Flores in his barangay.

The name of Flores was one of the example mentioned of President Duterte in his combat against irregularities involving the SAP cash assistance to the poor during the ECQ. President Duterte was furious after learning the incident involving the anomalous act of the barangay kagawad.

However, Duterte announces to give reward amounting to P30,000 pesos to those who can report irregularities or corrupt official involving the distribution of SAP cash assistance.
