MANILA, Philippines —Nela Charade Puno, who has been fired recently from her job as Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Director General, on Friday said she is “clueless” about any corruption allegations being hurled against her by President Rodrigo Duterte. “I take exception to the mention of so-called ‘corruption allegations’ because I am clueless as to what these are. I have not been charged in any legal proceedings nor am I aware of any official investigations being undertaken in relation to corruption involving me,” she said in a statement.
