No ‘Merry Christmas’ for flood control mess culprits, Palace maintains
Malacañang maintains that individuals involved in anomalous flood control projects will face arrest before Christmas, as pledged by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro confirmed that warrants of arrest will be issued, implying that some implicated individuals will have a bleak Christmas.
Castro also stated that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office of the Ombudsman are actively working on these cases.
This comes after a warrant of arrest was issued against former Ako Bicol Representative Elizaldy "Zaldy" Co.
