Rep. Domogan Demands Full Disclosure from Zaldy Co Following Arrest in Czech Republic
Baguio City Representative Mauricio Domogan has expressed strong approval of the recent arrest of former House Appropriations Committee Chair Zaldy Co in the Czech Republic. In an exclusive interview with Bombo Radyo Philippines, Domogan emphasized that this development is highly beneficial for the Philippines, as Co had been a fugitive for several months while evading authorities.
Call for Public Accountability and Justice
Domogan stressed that the Filipino people deserve the opportunity to hear directly from Co regarding his knowledge and involvement in the allegations against him, rather than relying solely on video messages released to the media. He argued that this arrest provides a crucial chance for Co to explain his role, whatever it may be, in the exposed flood control scandal that has rocked the nation.
Ultimately, if the former partylist lawmaker is successfully extradited back to the Philippines, Domogan is confident that justice will eventually prevail. This is particularly important for the many Filipinos affected by the corruption that has plagued public infrastructure projects across the country, undermining development and public trust.
The scandal has highlighted systemic issues in government contracting and oversight, with Domogan noting that such cases erode confidence in national institutions. He urged authorities to ensure a transparent legal process, allowing Co to present his side while holding accountable those responsible for mismanagement and fraud.
This arrest marks a significant step in ongoing efforts to combat graft and corruption in Philippine politics, with Domogan calling for continued vigilance and reform to prevent similar scandals in the future. The public awaits further developments as extradition proceedings unfold and more details emerge from the investigation.
