PACQUIAO TO OMBUDSMAN MORALES: INVESTIGATE YOLANDA FUNDS NOT BATO'S TRIP TO MY FIGHT

Monday, November 14, in an interview to Senator Manny Pacquiao, he defended PNP Chief General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa in his decision for paying the Las Vegas trip.

Pacquiao said that other “corrupt” activities should be investigated such as the Yolanda rehabilitation funds.

“Minsan, ano rin natin…may mga bagay na dapat nating tutukan especially ang corruption, lalong lalo na yan. Kailangan maipaliwanag kung saan napunta yung funding ng Yolanda,” Pacquiao said.

“Ang mga naghihirap nating kababayan na wala pang mga bahay, nangangailangan pa sila ng tulong eh nasaan yung pera? Yun ang kailangan nating imbestigahan …’Yun ang dapat nating unahin. Hindi yung gagawa ka ng butas dahil kalaban mo,” he added.

The Office of the Ombudsman earlier ordered a probe on Dela Rosa for possible violation of Presidential Decree 46, which makes it punishable for public officials and employees to receive gifts on any occasion, and Republic Act 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees over alleged travel perks courtesy of Pacquiao.

The investigation will be led by the Ombudsman for Military and Other Law Enforcement Offices (MOLEO).

Pacquiao insisted there was nothing malicious in paying the expenses PNP chief Dela Rosa.

“Sa’min mga Bisaya, wala kaming iniisip na masama or ano. Ang hangarin namin ay magserbisyo, linisin ang ating bansa at magkaroon ng matiwasay na pamumuhay ang mamamayan,” Pacquiao said.
