Palace warns local governments against LGSF, SCPF scam operations

The Philippine government has issued a warning to the public and local officials about scams involving the Local Government Support Fund (LGSF) and the Socio-Civic Projects Fund (SCPF). Scammers are falsely claiming to represent these programs, collecting money under false pretenses, and organizing fake meetings. The Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) emphasized that there are no official meetings related to these funds and urged people to verify information through proper channels like mayors or governors. The OES stated it would take legal action against those involved in these fraudulent activities. The Marcos administration has increased funding for local government units through initiatives like 'Bawat Bayan Makikinabang,' supported by the LGSF.
