MAKE no mistake about this one. The village chief from Dasmariñas, Cavite who was accidentally caught on camera having sex with the barangay treasurer has resigned, said the barangay federation president.
Jorge Magno, president of the Association of Barangay Captains (ABC) in the city, did not name the village chief and the barangay treasurer. He however said that both have since resigned immediately after a public affairs program aired it on television.
The resigned barangay captain has also apologized over the incident.
“Si barangay chairman, nagresign na po para sa ikatatahimik po ng lahat. Humihingi po siya ng pang-unawa at pasensya sa lahat na ganoon ang nangyari,” Magno said in a radio interview this morning adding that the barangay treasurer has likewise stepped down in view of the scandal.
“Sa pagkakaalam ko po nagresign na rin para sa ikatatahimik ng lahat.”
The illicit act of the barangay chairman and the treasurer was accidentally caught in a teleconference meeting with fellow barangay officials on their COVID-19 response. Both officials are married.
