House spox says Co still in US for medical treatment
Ako Bicol Representative Zaldy Co is currently in the United States for medical treatment, as confirmed by the House of Representatives.
House spokesperson Princess Abante confirmed Co's departure following reports of his numerous absences.
Abante stated that Co is out of the country with appropriate travel documents, though she does not have details on their specifics or the duration of his travel authority.
Co has faced scrutiny due to his connections with Sunwest and Hi-Tone, companies identified as major flood control contractors.
Lawmakers also sought Co's presence for a congressional investigation into flood control projects, particularly concerning changes in the proposed 2025 budget.
In the 19th Congress, Co chaired the appropriations committee and led the House contingent in the bicameral conference committee.
