    Taxpayers to shoulder P800M price for cowardice of leaders

    By Theresa Martelino-Reyes  |  Nov 10, 2022 3:31 PM

    When former president Rodrigo Duterte buckled under China’s bullying and reimposed a 2014 moratorium on drilling in the Reed Bank, off the coast of Palawan, in April, he and his advisers most likely did not realize that it would cost the government at least $13.78 million (about P800 million with today’s exchange rate) in unnecessary spending.

    By VERA Files  |  Jul 31, 2021 4:32 PM

    Sa kanyang pang-anim at panghuling State of the Nation Address (SONA) noong Hulyo 26, sinabi ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na ang 2016 arbitral award, na nagpawalang bisa sa malawak na nine-dash-line claim ng China sa South China Sea, ay hindi nagbubuklod sa Beijing. Hindi ito totoo.
