During a press briefing, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro slammed Magalong for criticizing the speed of the administration’s probe into questionable flood control projects.
She said the government’s investigation into questionable flood control projects only intensified around September or October last year but has already led to several individuals being investigated and warrants of arrest being issued.
