General Santos City Mayor Lorelie Pacquiao has countered graft complaints filed against her by raising a P16.3 million unliquidated cash advance issue from the previous administration of former Mayor Ronnel Rivera.
Pacquiao presented a demand letter from the former City Accountant to Rivera's camp, urging the settlement of cash advances drawn from the city's Intelligence Fund in 2013 and 2014.
The Mayor criticized her detractors for allegedly ignoring this long-standing financial issue while pursuing allegations against her.
This development underscores the heightened political rivalry between the Pacquiao and Rivera factions, especially after Pacquiao's victory in the 2022 mayoral elections.
