Whistle-blowers are not exempted from the consequence of what they report if they are found guilty of committing corrupt practices themselves, Dumaguete City Councilor Alan Cordova said yesterday.

Cordova, a member of the committee tasked to probe alleged anomalous transactions at the city farmstead, was reacting to the statements of Vice Mayor Woodrow Maquiling scoring the recommendation for the dismissal of whistle-blower Melito Cataylo, as “unfair, unjust and unconstitutional”.
