Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon has denied that a request he sent to former Customs chief Nicanor Faeldon in connection with a project in Iloilo was “illegal.”“There is nothing illegal,” Drilon told reporters on Monday. ADVERTISEMENT“In fact, the building is not even owned by the BoC,” Drilon said. Drilon, for his part, explained that the NHCP sought his help on the project, which he said aimed to restore historical sites in the province. No BoC employees, he said, were driven out of the building after the renovation. Asked what he planned to do after Faeldon’s allegation, Drilon said: “Hayaan mo siya.” /atmRELATED VIDEO:ADVERTISEMENT
