Confirmed. Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte's district received P51 billion pesos during the last 3 years of his father's presidency. His own father's office requested for such amounts in the national budget.
This was confirmed by Public Works Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral to ABS-CBN Henry Omaga-Diaz.
According the House Appropriations Chair Rep. Elizaldy Co, the average budget allocation per district is P500 million P4 billion pesos. Budget Assistant Secretary Rhea Dela Vega says that this could only mean that projects in other districts were cut to make room for the P51 billion allocated to Rep. Duterte's district.
Rep. Co claims that Philippine lawmakers are complaining about the unfairness of the budget distribution whilst local political commentators report that Rep,. Duterte has become politically isolated in the House after recent revelations.

Earlier this morning, a group of 'heavily armed' Mercenaries entered the home of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo, while he was having a meeting with his constituents. One of the armed men walked further and once he had eyes on Degamo, he then shot the guard in front of him and continued to open fire on the governor and multiple people. They then went to check on Degamo's body & once confirmed dead, they then proceed to leave the scene in a black SUV.
