VP Sara says Marcos should be included in flood control probe
Vice President Sara Duterte believes President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. should be investigated and jailed for alleged flood control anomalies, citing discrepancies in the 2025 national budget.
Duterte stated that the inclusion of projects in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) that were not present in the executive branch's National Expenditure Program (NEP) serves as evidence of wrongdoing.
She questioned why Marcos Jr. would not include former House Speaker Martin Romualdez in investigations, referencing the President's statement that Romualdez has not yet been included in case referrals.
Duterte suggested that the public should investigate the specific districts where these inserted projects were allocated.
