BFP chief, 19 others face corruption raps
The Philippine Star
|January 14, 2026
Twenty officials of the Bureau of Fire Protection, including BFP director Jesus Fernandez, will face charges for alleged involvement in bid rigging, kickbacks and other forms of corruption, Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said yesterday.
Remulla said he is particularly irked at Fernandez, whom he accused of attempting to offer him millions of pesos in kickbacks in the procurement of fire trucks.
Recalling a birthday party in December last year, Remulla said one of Fernandez’s subordinates approached his friend.
“They asked (my friend) to (relay a message) to me that I'd be getting P1.5 million per truck,” Remulla told reporters in a Zoom interview.
When his friend informed him about the offer, Remulla confronted Fernandez the following day and scolded him.
