PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. remains unfazed by the recent allegations made by former Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Zaldy Co, according to Undersecretary Claire. In a statement emphasizing the government’s position, the Undersecretary asserted that the administration is not swayed by mere accusations and is committed to pursuing justice based on verifiable facts and evidence.
Undersecretary Claire’s remarks highlight the government’s confidence in its handling of the 2025 budget controversy and flood control scandal. She underscored the need for concrete evidence, suggesting that the administration is taking a serious and measured approach to the accusations.
The Undersecretary’s assertion that President Marcos is “not bothered” by Co’s claims implies a strong belief within the administration that the President has acted with integrity and transparency. This confidence suggests that the government is prepared to defend its actions and is confident that the truth will ultimately prevail.
The government’s message is clear: it is prioritizing due process and accountability. While acknowledging the gravity of the allegations, the administration is signaling its commitment to a fair and impartial investigation, guided by evidence and legal principles, ensuring that any actions taken are based on a solid foundation of facts, rather than being driven by political considerations or public pressure.
