Malacañang dismissed calls for President Marcos to resign over alleged flood control corruption, warning that a leadership change could halt ongoing investigations.
Palace spokesperson Claire Castro said those pushing for his removal are individuals affected by the probe and urged the public not to let the evidence be obscured.
Castro highlighted that Marcos himself initiated the investigation through the Independent Commission for Infrastructure to expose irregularities and hold the corrupt accountable.
The calls followed resigned lawmaker Zaldy Co’s claims that Marcos ordered P100 billion in infrastructure project insertions in the 2025 budget, though Co has yet to present verifiable evidence.
Civic leaders criticized Co’s videos as dramatic and unsubstantiated, emphasizing that serious allegations require documents and testimony under oath, not social media posts filmed abroad.
