Former Transportation secretary Arthur Tugade on Thursday answered the alleged diversion of P13 billion funds in 2018 which was supposedly for the communications, navigation, surveillance/air traffic management system.
Tugade also denied the claim that the supposed P13 billion fund was from the 2018 General Appropriations Act, saying the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines is a government-owned and controlled corporation that has a separate budget. The former Transportation chief recalled that there was around P120 or P180 million allocated for the CNS/ATM in 2018 but it was "precisely for maintenance, administration, security and operations."
He said he knew about the allegations through news reports and social media posts and the report "woke" him up in his "retirement moments."
