FOR UNOFFICIAL USE ALSO

Pula ang plaka pero nasa harap ng “Classmate” sa Quezon Avenue nakaparada. “For Official Use Only” ang nakalagay sa gilid ng pinto ng sasakyan pero nasa harap ng mall at nagkakarga ng groceries.

Ano ibig sabihin nito?

Sa patay-sindi na ba ginaganap ang mga conventions?

Hindi na ba nagbi-bidding at dapat sa SM bumili ng supplies ang gobyerno?

Isa lang ibig sabihin niyan.

Technical malversation.

Ayon sa Revised Penal Code:

Art. 220. Illegal use of public funds or property. — Any public officer who shall apply any public fund or property under his administration to any public use other than for which such fund or property were appropriated by law or ordinance shall suffer the penalty of prision correccional in its minimum period or a fine ranging from one-half to the total of the sum misapplied, if by reason of such misapplication, any damages or embarrassment shall have resulted to the public service. In either case, the offender shall also suffer the penalty of temporary special disqualification.

Ibig sabihin lang, bawal ang gamitin ang pondo ng isang kawani ng gobyerno sa bagay na hindi naman pinaglaanan.

Kaya kapag may nakita kayong sasakyan ng gobyerno na mukhang nasa lugar na hindi dapat. Alam mo na ano ang pananagutan.

Maigsi lang entry ko kasi ako ay kasalukuyang nasa liblib ngunit magandang isla sa timog at kanluran ng Quezon, silangan ng Mindoro, at hilaga ng Romblon (sabi ng wikipedia).
