The Commission on Audit clears Cagayan de Oro City 2nd District Representative Rufus Rodriguez of liability in the illegal release of P2 million from his pork barrel in 2008.
MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Audit cleared Cagayan de Oro City 2nd District Representative Rufus Rodriguez of liability in the illegal release of P2 million from his Priority Development Assistance Fund or pork barrel in 2008.
“While the findings in the NBI report are merely recommendatory in nature, it stands as evidence nonetheless. In the absence of any other evidence to the contrary…the NBI report is entitled to the presumption of regularity and cannot just be dismissed,” COA said in its ruling, released in the last week of November.
Of the P2 million, P1.8 million went to PSDFI, while TRC withheld P200,000 to cover a 5% service fee and other expenses for “technical assistance and learning materials.”
