Malacañang on Thursday welcomed the move of seven senators who signed a resolution urging the Commission on Audit (COA) to conduct a special audit of coronavirus (Covid-19) funds.
The lawmakers cited allegations that billions of taxpayers money may have been lost to corruption
In a press conference held in Quezon City, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque assured proper accountability for funds.
“Wala pong tinatago ang Presidente at ang Malacañang. Lahat ng gastos, lahat ng pera na ginastos para sa Covd-19 napunta yan para sa Covid-19 response ng gobyerno,” said Roque.
“Nung meron pang Bayanihan We Heal as One Act, regular kami nagsusumite ng report sa taumbayan kung paano nagastos ang mga salapi na in-appropriate ng Kongreso.
“Nonetheless, dahil wala naman kaming tinatago, we welcome the special audit, noting na talaga namang i-a-audit yan ng COA dahil ang COA ay post-audit ang kanilang ginagawa,” he also said.
Those who signed the resolution were Senators Risa Hontiveros, Ralph Recto, Juan Edgardo Angara, Panfilo Lacson, Franklin Drilon, Francis Pangilinan, and Leila de Lima.
