BFP, CIDG arrests Fire Officer over 500k Recruitment Scam

The Bureau of Fire Protection, in a joint operation with the Philippine National Police (PNP) through its Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), apprehended a BFP personnel allegedly involved in the P500K “Slot-for-Sale” Recruitment Scam.

The entrapment operation stemmed when the victim reported the suspect contacted via Facebook Messenger using a dummy account. Acting quickly, BFP Region 3, led by Acting Regional Director FSSUPT Bernard T Rosete, in coordination with PNP-CIDG Regional Field Unit 3 set up the operation through a series of meetings between the victim and the suspect.

During the initial meeting, the suspect showed a BFP ID, and claimed to have sold slots in other regions before demanding the P500,000 fee. The applicant agreed on a partial initial payment of P300,000 setting the entrapment operation.

During the succeeding meeting, the CIDG and BFP operatives caught the suspect on site during the exchange of the marked money.

BFP Officer-in-Charge FCSUPT Wilberto Rico Neil A Kwan Tiu said in a statement that the BFP remains committed to a strict and fair hiring process. “We do not tolerate corruption within our ranks. Continuously working with the PNP, we will ensure anyone who exploits our aspiring applicants will face the law.” FCSUPT Kwan Tiu said. “We will hold our personnel accountable for their actions.” He added.

The BFP, through the “OPLAN SANTINDIG,” conducts an anti-extortion campaign on recruitment, promotions and transfers to ensure integrity within its ranks. Applicants are reminded that payment is not required to gain entry in the BFP, and application is strictly based on merit and fitness.

The public is encouraged to report any recruitment irregularities through [email protected] or 09202543499.
