Mexico, Pampanga Mayor Teddy Tumang earned the ire of House of Representatives members Wednesday afternoon, July 26 when he skipped the probe on alleged procurement irregularities in his municipality dating back to 2007.
Mexico, Pampanga Mayor Teddy Tumang irks congressmen on Wednesday afternoon, July 26 as he fails to attend the probe on alleged procurement irregularities in his municipality dating back to 2007.
Panel chairman, ABANG LINGKOD Party-list Rep. Joseph Stephen Paduano, carried Pimentel's motion for a subpoena even as he prevented a lawyer in attendance to represent the mayor in the proceedings. "Mr. Chair, my questions will be directed to Mayor Tumang because the subject matter of the this audit report which is about two inches thick is Mayor Tumang himself. Because he signed the P149 million supposedly anomalous transactions by himself," said Pimentel.
The panel hearing stemmed from the complaints-slash-affidavits of Ernesto Punzalan, who raised the purported anomalous processing of procurement and contracts by the municipality of Mexico from 2007 to mid-2010, as well as a loan agreement with the Development Bank of the Philippines totaling P950 million.
