‘Testifying vs Marcos not a priority for Zaldy’MANILA, Philippines — He may have tagged President Marcos to be part of the anomalies in flood control projects, but testifying against Marcos during impeachment proceedings is among the least of priorities of former lawmaker Zaldy Co, his lawyer said. But Rondain said that, at this point, this is not the primary reason why Co made the video alleging Marcos’ involvement in corruption related to government infrastructure projects. “That’s low in his priority list,” Rondain said, referring to Co’s testifying against Marcos. Co was chair of the House committee on appropriations, which is in charge of deliberations on the proposed national budget. Allegations against Co outlined how he supposedly used his position for a scheme that siphoned billions from government coffers.
