There will be no special treatment for a member of the Presidential Security Group who was caught using a cloned automated teller machine (ATM) card, Malacañang stressed Sunday.

Presidential Communications Operations Office head Herminio Coloma Jr. said PSG member Raphael Marcial will have to face the consequences of his actions.

“Meron naman pong mga sinusunod na patakaran ang AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) at ang PSG hinggil sa appropriate disciplinary actions at ito po ay ipatutupad,” he said on government-run dzRB radio.

Earlier reports said Marcial, a member of Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class 2008, was arrested during a surveillance operation where he was caught using a cloned ATM card.

Coloma said PSG head Commodore Raul Ubando issued a relief order on Marcial, who will undergo inquest proceedings in Manila.

“Tinitiyak lang ng PSG na iyong paggalang sa kanyang mga karapatan, sa kanyang mga legal rights. Pagkatapos po non, depende sa magiging findings ng inquest,” he said.

Coloma added PSG members, like all government employees, are expected to be law-abiding citizens at all times.

“They must face the consequences of their actions in accordance with the law,” he said. — LBG, GMA News
