Unqualified Bureau of Customs intelligence chief remains in office

DESPITE a final ruling by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) en banc that he was “unqualified” for his post, Agent 1 Richard Rebong remains as chief of the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS).

The CSC en banc, headed by Chairman Francisco Duque, has upheld an earlier ruling by the CSS Field Office and CSC-National Capital Region that both dismissed Rebong’s appeal on his permanent appointment as CIIS chief.
