MANILA, Philippines — The Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) is still waiting for President Rodrigo Duterte’s formal order allowing the auction of former First Lady Imelda Marcos’ jewelry collection worth over P700-million. “Wala pang formal action si PRRD,” Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said Monday. It recently sought the President’s approval for the public auction of Marcos’ Hawaii jewelry collection, which is currently being kept at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). Without the written order from Duterte, PCGG could not start with the auction, according to Guevarra. (Editor: Katherine G.
