CIVIL Service Commission Director IV Atty. Alma Flores-Foronda warned those who will be proven to have leaked the alleged Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) documents related to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s alleged involvement in illegal drugs may face sanctions from authorities.
In a Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs Foronda said that imprisonment of not more than 10 years awaits those who will be proven to have divulged such confidential information.
“‘Yung divulging of confidential information is being penalized by two laws. We have Republic Act 6713, under Section 7, ito ‘yung code of conduct and ethical standards for government officials and employees and also under the anti-graft and corrupt practices act, Section 3,” Foronda explained.
Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, who heads the committee, also stressed that such kinds of documents, if proven authentic, are “sacred” for the authorities.
