The Quezon City government has reiterated its no corruption policy following the arrest of a city hall employee for allegedly asking bribes in exchange for processing permits and documents.

- Janvic Mateo, Emmanuel Tunas

"The Quezon City government strongly condemns any form of corruption, bribery or extortion, especially if it directly or indirectly involves anyone connected with the city government," city hall said in a statement yesterday.

"Such an action is unacceptable, goes against the values of integrity and public service and will never be tolerated," the city government added.

The warning came after the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) arrested the city hall employee, identified only as Maria, during a sting on Wednesday.
