LIVE: DILG Press Briefing regarding BFP Modernization and Public Safety

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) exposes a massive corruption and procurement scheme within the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). Criminal and administrative charges will be filed before the Office of the Ombudsman against 45 current and former BFP officials, including former top directors, over the procurement of overpriced fire trucks from 2018 to 2024. Investigations revealed that the cost of a 1,000-gallon fire truck inexplicably ballooned from Php 5.9 million in 2014 to nearly Php 15 million by 2024. The DILG flagged tailor-fitted technical specifications, lack of genuine bidding deliberations, and undervalued import declarations favoring specific suppliers. The deep-rooted corruption was fully unmasked after the DILG Secretary was blatantly offered a Php 1.5-million bribe per fire truck—amounting to a potential Php 300 million payoff—which he immediately rejected and investigated.
