PHOTO OF LENI NAMING DPWH AMONG AGENCIES TO INVESTIGATE RESURFACES AMID FLOOD CONTROL PROBE
A photo of Naga City Mayor and former Vice President Leni Robredo has resurfaced online, recalling her 2022 CNN Presidential Debate response on corruption.
In the debate, candidates were asked which government agency they would investigate first. Robredo named four: the Bureau of Customs (BOC), Bureau of Immigration (BI), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
The post has gained traction anew amid probes into alleged multibillion-peso anomalies in DPWH flood control projects. The controversy has implicated district engineers and contractors, and raised questions over congressional budget insertions.
Robredo's earlier response has been cited by netizens as a prescient warning on corruption-prone agencies now under renewed public scrutiny.
