MANILA, Philippines — A barangay chairman and a treasurer in Dasmariñas City, Cavite caught
having sex during a videoconference call on Zoom last week resigned from their
posts on Wednesday.
Jorge Magno, president of the Association of Barangay Captains in Dasmariñas,
yesterday confirmed that the two officials, who are both married, resigned.
“Nag-resign na po, sa ikakatahimik ng lahat. Humingi naman po si barangay
chairman ng pasensya at pang-unawa,” Magno said in an interview over dzBB.
Magno said the online meeting was with other barangay officials to discuss
measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019.
He claimed the participants in the Zoom meeting did not immediately notice
that the two officials were having sex.
A video of the meeting reportedly showed the village chief turning off the
camera of his cellular phone, but another camera was focused on them.
Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya, Department of the Interior and Local
Government spokesman, said the DILG would investigate the incident.
”If true, this is unbecoming of an elected government official. Tinitiyak po
naming papaimbestigahan at pananagutin ang barangay captain ng karampatang
parusa ng batas,” Malaya said.
