HOUSE Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III has formally revoked the travel clearance of Ako Bicol Partylist Rep. Zaldy Co and ordered him to return to the Philippines within ten days, stressing that his immediate presence is required.

In a Letter dated September 18, 2025, Speaker Dy informed Co that “your existing Travel Clearance for your personal trip is hereby revoked effective immediately.”

“This revocation is issued in the paramount interest of the public and due to the existence of pressing national matters requiring your physical presence.”

The Speaker said that “in the exigency of service, you are hereby directed to return to the Philippines within ten (10) calendar days from your receipt of this notice.”

“Your immediate return is necessary to address the aforementioned matters with urgency,” he added.

Speaker Dy told Co that his immediate and strict compliance is expected, and that “failure to comply with this directive within the prescribed period shall be construed as a refusal to subject yourself to the lawful processes of the House of Representatives and may result in the initiation of appropriate disciplinary and legal actions.”
