PHILIPPINE Sports Commission (PSC) Officer-in-Charge (OIC) Commissioner Ramon Fernandez divulged to The Manila Times on Tuesday that a PSC employee had allegedly been involved in “payroll padding” for the past five years.

Fernandez, a four-time Most Valuable Player in the Philippine Basketball Association, identified the suspect as Paul Michael Padua Ignacio, who had been employed by the government sports agency as a staff member in charge of the payroll register for national athletes and coaches since 2011.
