DILG exec in ouster of former boss
on corruption defends self on similar raps

An official of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), who has been one of three allegedly responsible for the ouster of then Secretary Ismael Sueno, now finds himself in a similar situation as he denied allegations that he was engaged in a "money-making" scheme involving the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), both under the DILG.

Jesus Hinlo, DILG undersecretary for public safety, shrugged off claims that he was "skimming" off from the department's projects, including the prisoner's meal allowance, "promotional-for-sale racket" and "reassignment of personnel racket", saying he does not have the authority over programs under the BJMP and the BFP.
