(Eagle News) — Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales said they were investigating officials sacked by President Rodrigo Duterte over corruption.
In a television interview aired on Monday, June 11, Morales said among those being investigated was former Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo.
Teo resigned after the Commission on Audit red-flagged the DOT’s placement of P60 million worth of advertisements in a PTV blocktimer program produced by her brother, Ben Tulfo.
The program was also co-hosted by her other brother, Erwin Tulfo.
Teo has denied the allegations, saying the contract was scrutinized by the DOT’s legal department prior to its implementation.
