Stealing is a serious crime in the Philippines and can result in severe consequences for the offender, especially in the workplace. Fast food restaurants have strict policies to prevent theft, and if an employee is caught stealing, they may face suspension, termination, or legal action.
Theft of less than P10,000 is considered a misdemeanor and is punishable by imprisonment of up to six months or a fine not exceeding P10,000, while theft of an amount greater than P10,000 can result in imprisonment of six years and one day to 20 years. Additionally, stealing can have a long-term impact on an individual’s career prospects due to a criminal record.
Speaking of which, an assistant manager of a popular fast food restaurant in Quezon City has been arrested by Cubao Police Station (PS-7) operatives for allegedly stealing P100,000 worth of earnings.
The suspect was identified as Mary Grace Belarmino Perfiñan, 35, the manager and head cashier of Mang Inasal SM Cubao branch and a resident of Brgy. San Isidro, Rodriguez, Rizal, according to Quezon City Police District (QCPD) Director PBGEN Nicolas D Torre III.
