Elizaldy Co in U.S. for 'medical treatment' amid flood control probe
Ako Bicol Rep. Elizaldy Co is currently in the United States for medical treatment, as confirmed by House spokesperson Princess Abante.
Abante stated that Co has appropriate travel documents for his treatment.
Co's absence from the House of Representatives comes amid revived scrutiny over the 2025 budget and anomalies in flood control projects.
President Marcos Jr. previously exposed 15 construction firms that secured P100 billion for flood control projects since June 2022.
These projects represent 20 percent of the P545.64 billion total budget for flood control since the President assumed office.
Co was absent from July 28 to August 6, with some absences not having prior notice, though he attended committee meetings from August 11 to 27.
