Daza also lauded former MMDA chairperson, now Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos Jr. for ensuring the return of the funds. “Secretary Abalos’ efforts in reaching out to MMDA, I believe, contributed to the positive outcome,” Daza said. He reiterated that there is nothing totally wrong about downloading funds as long as the DBM approves and said funds will be spent in helpful and meaningful projects. “As with anything in government, please, let’s just do it right. Let’s do it for the peace of mind of our taxpayers.”
