THE DEPARTMENT of Justice (DoJ) has warned the public against reported unscrupulous individuals posing as members of the Cabinet, including the executive secretary, to solicit funds supposedly for various government programs. DoJ Memorandum Circular No. 065, dated Nov. 21 and marked “extremely urgent,” says: “The public is also warned that the OP (Office of the President) and the Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) have not authorized any person to solicit money or other things of value from the public for the alleged benefit of Marawi soldiers, senior citizens, illegal drug campaign, or any other cause, for that matter.” Various government agencies have been directed to help in the dissemination of the warning. — Andrea Louise E.
