(Eagle News) — Former Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre denied ordering his men to shred documents at the Justice department before leaving office.
“If any shredding was done, I know nothing about it,” Aguirre said in a statement.
In any case, in the first place, he said the shredding of documents was “regularly done in public and private offices.”
“We can even surmise that it was done to get rid of unneeded … documents,” he said.
In a speech during his first flag-raising ceremony, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Monday, April 16, said he would revive the clean image of the DOJ which was “suffering from a huge image problem.”
“The building remains the same but it’s somehow corroded inside; it looks solid but its structural integrity is suspect both literally and metaphorically,” he said.
