Magalong slams ‘below the belt’ claims over P118-M Baguio tennis court project
Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong vehemently denied accusations of corruption related to a P118 million tennis court project in the city, which he described as a "below the belt" attack.
Magalong stated that the project was awarded to St. Gerrard Construction Company, owned by contractors Curlee and Sarah Discaya, through an open and transparent bidding process in 2022.
He expressed his dismay that the accusations imply his involvement in corruption, questioning why he would challenge powerful individuals if he were indeed corrupt.
The mayor believes that these accusations stem from him having "struck a nerve" with certain parties.
