Duterte cites COA's past findings on DOJ, DILG

President Duterte cited past COA findings from 2013 and 2014 to defend Health Secretary Francisco Duque III.

The COA had flagged the Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2013 for unliquidated cash advances under then-Justice Secretary Leila De Lima, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in 2014 for unliquidated fund transfers under then-Interior Secretary Mar Roxas.

Duterte argued that these findings show who might be involved in mismanagement or corruption.
