Solon urges Duque to attend House hearing on P67B deficient COVID-19 funds

Cagayan de Oro City Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez urged Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III to attend a House briefing scheduled for Tuesday at 1:30 p.m., where Duque will explain alleged deficiencies worth over P67 billion in pandemic funds under the Department of Health (DOH) as reported by the Commission on Audit (COA).

Rodriguez stated that Duque has vowed to account for all of the money and declared none of it lost to corruption.

The hearing, led by Probinsyano Ako Party-list Rep. Jose C. Singson Jr., chair of the House Committee on Public Accounts, aims to ensure that Congress-dedicated funds are spent wisely and effectively.
