ADVERTISEMENTREAD: Bitag Media to return P60M pay for DOT ad placements – lawyerRoque was reacting to Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo Puyat’s revelation that the P60 million had not been returned to the government. The lawyer of resigned Tourism Secretary Wanda Tulfo Teo, Ferdinand Topacio, said on May 7 that Ben Tulfo, who owns Bitag Media Unlimited Inc., had pledged to return the P60 million paid to his company by the DOT. He said the DOT secretary had no legal personality to file corruption cases. “The mandate of President Duterte is to stamp out corruption…The Ombudsman is there, and the PAGC is there,” Roque said. “In case the Ombudsman is unable to act on it immediately, we can refer this to the PAGC,” he added.
