Puno sees demolition job vs Romualdez ahead of ICI attendance
Deputy Speaker and Antipolo City Rep. Ronaldo "Ronnie" Puno warned that a demolition job or scapegoating might be happening against former Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Puno's statement was made in light of reports linking a farm-to-market road project in Leyte to alleged overpricing and misuse of public funds.
He believes the timing of these reports is unfortunate as Romualdez is set to appear before the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) hearing on flood control anomalies.
Puno suggested that these actions could be an attempt to scapegoat individuals and evade responsibility for alleged anomalies.
He highlighted that Department of Agriculture chief Francisco Tiu-Laurel Jr. had mentioned "ghost" and "substandard" projects in other provinces, but none were reportedly located in Leyte.
