The House of Representatives is intensifying its investigation into former PCSO general manager Royina Garma, focusing on whether she used diplomatic channels to send millions of pesos to the United States.
Garma allegedly used Philippine National Police (PNP) diplomatic pouches, intended for official communications, to send funds to her ex-husband, police Col. Roland Vilela.
At the same time, he served as a police attaché in Los Angeles. Testimony from police Capt. Delfinito Anuba revealed he was instructed to convert pesos to dollars and send them through diplomatic channels.
The revelations have raised concerns over the potential misuse of government resources for personal financial gain.
Meanwhile, the Senate aims to conclude its investigation into Philippine offshore gaming operations (POGOs) soon to prevent further distractions.
