In a radio interview, Roque said the Aquino administration should be held accountable for the Frigate Acquisition Project (FAP) because it was already a done deal when Duterte assumed office. The group cited the Dengvaxia controversy where former President Benigno Aquino 3rd and former Health Secretary Janette Garin are being implicated. Criminal charges have been filed against Aquino, Garin, and former Budget Secretary Florencio Abad, in connection with the purchase of the vaccines. Aquino and some former government officials are also being blamed for the P3.8 billion Metro Rail Transit deal. He added that Duterte’s critics should realize that Go could not have meddled in the frigate deal because the contract was finalized under the Aquino administration.
