President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday directed Solicitor General Jose Calida to ask the Commission on Audit (COA) to act on the alleged disallowances in the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) during the leadership of Senator Dick Gordon.
Duterte reiterated that Gordon has failed to account for P140 million spent by SBMA during his term as chairman.
The lawmaker served as SBMA chairman and administrator from 1992 to 1998.
“I am now asking the Solicitor General to formally ask COA to act on the disallowance and remind them of their constitutional duty to collect the P140 million as stated in the demand letter of SBMA Chairperson and Administrator Eisma dated August of this year, which was sent via registered mail,” the President said during his taped public address.
“Mr. Gordon, you are appearing all white because you have painted everybody black there. So ikaw na ‘yung lumabas na puti. What now? Please answer me. Anong nangyari dito sa kaso mo? Hindi mo binayaran. It’s a malversed money. It’s the people’s money that you have used,” he added.
