BY MARICAR ARANAS

Mabinay Mayor Inosario Baldoza is filing charges before the Office of the Ombudsman Visayas against Local Civil Registrar Officer Herminia Peras who was allegedly responsible for the theft of scrap materials from the bodega owned by the municipal government.

Baldoza said the National Bureau of Investigation has named Peras and a civilian identified as Brenda Alama.  The two suspects will be charged with theft, he said.

Baldoza said the investigation conducted by NBI claimed that no other employees were involved. But Baldoza said he will dig deeper and identify the possible accomplices who should also be held liable.
