STATEMENT OF REP. PAOLO “PULONG” DUTERTE (May 19, 2025)
It is deeply ironic that Antonio Tinio now wants to parade himself as a crusader against corruption and flooding issues in Davao City, when the entire country is currently witnessing what many are calling the biggest corruption controversy in Philippine history unfolding under the administration of Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his son Sandro Marcos, and cousin Martin Romualdez.
Why is Mr. Tinio selectively blind?
Why is he not filing complaints against the engineers, contractors, and political personalities linked to questionable flood control projects nationwide?
Duterte Lawmakers Push Bill Tightening CA Scrutiny on Presidential Appointments
A measure seeking to strengthen constitutional checks on presidential appointments has been filed in the House of Representatives by Davao lawmakers Harold James Duterte and Paolo Duterte.
House Bill No. 9298 aims to require the Commission on Appointments (CA) to promptly act on nominations submitted by the President and to automatically designate the highest-ranking official in an acting capacity while Congress is in session.
According to the explanatory note of the proposed measure, the bill seeks to address what the authors described as the repeated bypassing of the constitutional requirement for Commission on Appointments scrutiny of key executive officials.
