[Title] => Be a ‘RED’ for half a million
[Summary] => What government agency allegedly harasses many of its regional executive directors (REDs) to vacate their positions so as to eventually "sell" their posts? This government agency’s secretary and undersecretaries, our ear-spy overheard, have been allegedly selling plantilla positions, especially the highly-coveted Regional Executive Director’s post, for half a million pesos each. The strategy is to badger the regional executive directors to vacate their positions even if they are not yet up for retirement.
