Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto dismissed a city government official over “some questionable practices and abusive behavior,” he said in a post on his official Facebook page on Sunday, August 18.

Sharing photos of the dismissed official’s vacated office, Sotto said, “This is the room of one Office Head after I fired him…. The pictures show how some people treat the government like their private property.”
The room was left empty, and Sotto hinted at how the ex-official could have taken off with all of his office’s furniture and supplies.
“Isa sa mga naging problema natin sa transition na ito ay hindi maayos ang imbentaryo ng gamit. ‘Di malinaw saan dinala ang milyon-milyong (o bilyong) kagamitan. ‘Ni walang sticker at number karamihan ng mga kagamitan sa mga opisina kaya ang hirap i-trace pag nawala,” Sotto commented.
(One of our problems during this transition is that the inventory of properties is disorganized. It’s unclear where millions (or billions) worth of properties went. There’s not even a sticker or numbers on most of the items in the offices, which is why it’s so difficult to trace them when they go missing.)
Sotto promised sweeping reforms in the city government when he assumed office on July 1.
He warned members of the bureaucracy to shape up or face sanctions and prosecution.
On July 12, Sotto ordered a comprehensive physical count of the city government’s supplies after the Commission on Audit flagged P1.464 billion in inventories that could not be accounted for.
He said the order was not an indictment of his predecessors but an effort at transparency, and to clarify that the audit covered the previous mayor’s term, not his.
