DOE warns public of illegal solicitation

Taguig City -- The Department of Energy (DOE) warns the public and energy stakeholders of unscrupulous individuals posing as Secretary Carlos Jericho L. Petilla and certain DOE employees soliciting money for supposed aid to typhoon Yolanda survivors and the rehabilitation in the calamity-stricken areas, as well as those taking advantage of the holiday season to fund occasions.

The DOE notes that government officials and employees are not allowed to solicit money in accordance with the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees (Republic Act 6713).

With these occurrences, we encourage everyone to report any form of communication from these individuals, and verify the authenticity of these messages with the DOE through the Office of the Secretary’s official numbers: 840-2134 and 840-2008. (DOE)
