Official documents on this was furnished the Capampangans in Media, Inc. (CAMI) here by SBMA administrator Wilma Eisma who said she has blocked the approval of a daughter of Diño as one of his two chiefs of staff .
Diño reportedly wanted two consultants, Jerald Salenga and Marybel Diño, as chiefs of staff . Salonga was proposed to get a monthly salary of P64,416, while Diño, daughter of the chairman, was to have a monthly pay of P96,363.
Eisma said she refused to approve the appointment of the chairman’s daughter.
Eisma disclosed that Diño also has five consultants including lawyer Victorio Casuay with a monthly salary of P96,363, and four others identified as lawyer Edwin Uy, Liberato de la Fuente, and Raymundo Roquero, all getting a monthly salary of P78,960 each. The name of the fifth consultant was missing in the document.
She said most of the 42 personnel assigned to Diño have already been receiving their salaries, except for the five consultants who have yet to submit required documents such as clearance from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). “We require such documents of all personnel, and there is no reason to exempt them,” she noted.
“Some of these personnel under the chairman were pulled out from other offices,” Eisma said.
The documents indicated the security personnel, whose names were listed in the document, receive monthly salaries ranging from P12,975 to P15,818.
The documents also said Diño’s staff , including consultants who have yet to get their pays, are to receive a total of P1,461,682 worth of salaries monthly, or P17,540,184 per year.
Diño is a former barangay chairman and former chairman of Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption. He had admitted he had no degrees in business courses or recognitions from financial institutions.
But soon after his appointment as SBMA appointment, Diño said “I have a direct line to the President where we could endorse all the proposed projects of (former SBMA) Chairman Garcia for the improvement of Subic Freeport.”
The SBMA board of directors earlier shot down an order of Diño creating a task force to monitor the agency’s operations.
In a June 1 memorandum signed by 11 of the 13 directors, the board rejected Diño’s Administrative Order No. 01- 2017 creating the task force to address SBMA’s financial problems and imminent collapse.
“We regret we cannot support your action of issuing an administrative order well beyond the scope of your duties as chairman of the board,” the directors told Diño.
