Vico Sotto warns village officials who count on protector in COA
Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto vowed to eliminate "old and corrupt practices" within the barangay government, stating "Enough is enough!" during his seventh State of the City Address.
He specifically warned barangay officials who allegedly bragged about having connections with Commission on Audit (COA) Commissioner Mario Lipana.
Sotto emphasized that such boasts are unacceptable and the city will "do what is right."
Commissioner Lipana has been linked to alleged anomalies in flood control projects, with his wife reportedly being an active contractor for the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
The Office of the Ombudsman is currently investigating Commissioner Lipana, who has been on official leave since August 1.
