Palace hits back at VP Duterte for calling pace of anti-corruption probe slow
Vice President Sara Duterte urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to take immediate action on alleged anomalies in flood control projects.
Duterte questioned why the President would wait for the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) findings when he already has information about the alleged misuse of public funds for these projects.
She stated that the President should "immediately take action" upon realizing how taxpayer money is being wasted.
The Vice President also challenged the President to conduct lifestyle checks on members of the House of Representatives and their staff, citing rumors of them owning houses abroad.
