BuCor data showed that 70 personnel have been suspended, 10 fined and 19 reprimanded.

Catapang said these disciplinary actions were imposed for offenses such as gross neglect of duty, serious dishonesty, misconduct and insubordination.

The move is part of the BuCor’s efforts to remove misfits in the agency and ensure accountability within the ranks, he said.
