Aside from the P100-billion budget insertion in the 2025 national fund, Zaldy Co also claimed that the President and the former Speaker also allegedly received a P56-billion kickback all for themselves.
The Malacañang Palace immediately turned down the claim of Zaldy Co who is one of the alleged main role player in the supposed multi-billion flood control corruption. According to Palace press officer undersecretary Claire Castro, Co allegedly wants the probe to stop so he tagged the President in the issue.
