PORMAL nang inihain ni Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco sa House ethics committee ang reklamo laban kay Ako Bicol partylist Rep. Elizaldy Co kaugnay ng budget insertions sa 2025 national budget.
Para kay Tiangco, walang pakundangan ang paglabag ni Co sa Article XI Section 1 (Public office is a public trust), Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees, at Rules ng Kamara de Representantes.
Si Co na tumayong chairperson ng House Committee on Appropriations nang pagtibayin ang ang 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA) noong 19th Congress.
Paglalarawan ni Tiangco sa 2025 GAA — “most scandalous, corrupt, and highly irregular budget.”
“He masterminded, tolerated, and deliberately allowed last-minute insertions, and realignments,” saad sa isang bahagi ng ethics complaint ni Tiangco.
“The insertions bypassed priority projects and cast serious doubts on the legitimacy of purpose. Noticeably, certain foreign-assisted projects were diverted to unprogrammed appropriations, dugtong ng Navotas solon.
“The justification for these acts remain a mystery to every member because the small committee had no committee reports, minutes of meeting, or any written explanation filed at the Archives of the House of Representatives. They remain as secrets and puzzles only Representative Co can explain,” pagtatapos ni Tiangco.
