A former member of the Philippine legislature and a relative of the country’s president has been taken into custody from his hospital bed. Authorities allege that he is responsible for misappropriating millions of dollars that were earmarked for flood control initiatives.
Former Philippines Lawmaker Arrested from Hospital Over Alleged Flood Aid Theft
Finally some action! We have been waiting for accountability in flood projects for years. Let the trial begin.
It is strange they waited until he was in the hospital to arrest him. Was he safe elsewhere before that?
Cousin of the president? That explains why everyone is watching closely. Hope this doesn’t blow over like previous cases.
I find it hard to believe millions were missing from flood aid while people keep drowning. Is this really all of it?
Arrested from a hospital bed shows the police really wanted to make an example of him. Nothing escapes justice now.
