BSP sacks supervisors over ghost employees

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has dismissed two supervisors implicated in the falsification of attendance records of ghost employees, imposing the maximum administrative penalties including forfeiture of benefits and a lifetime ban from public service.

In a resolution dated Aug. 20, the central bank’s Monetary Board upheld the findings of the BSP legal department and ruled that the erring supervisors were guilty of administrative violations tied to the dismissal of four staffers last year.

The sanctions include dismissal from service, forfeiture of retirement benefits, cancellation of civil service eligibility, perpetual disqualification from holding public office and a bar from taking civil service examinations.
