Ridon, Leviste clash over 2025 budget insertions probe
Batangas Rep. Leandro Leviste is pushing for the removal of Bicol Saro party-list Rep. Terry Ridon as chairperson of the House Committee on Public Accounts.
Leviste wants Ridon removed to ensure an impartial investigation into alleged budget insertions by the Bicol Saro party-list in the 2025 national budget.
The proposed probe will scrutinize Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) projects awarded to Bicol Goldrock Construction and GCI Construction.
Leviste suspects these construction companies have ties to the Bicol Saro party-list and the Ibasco family, who own them.
Leviste stated that Ridon should not shield the party-list's alleged budget insertions if there is no connection to the Ibasco family and their companies.
