'Could this be an attempt to deflect attention from the House investigation into extrajudicial killings during his time as police chief?'
Tingog Party-list Rep. Jude Acidre took to social media to respond to Senator Ronald"Bato" dela Rosa assailed the party-list over its health development program that also involved the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation and Development Bank of the Philippines .
, and Tingog Party-list is not only misinformed but also troubling in light of his history and motive," Acidre wrote on Facebook on Wednesday night, Dec. 11."While we respect his right to speak, we find it necessary to critically address his allegations and provide clarity on the matter," he said of the senator."The MOA’s intent is clear: to address the dire gaps in healthcare infrastructure, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
Tingog, Acidre said, had also been supporting the establishment of Philippine Cancer Center. It advocates early detection, timely treatment and comprehensive support for cancer patients. Acidre threw barbs at Dela Rosa--former president Rodrigo Duterte's ally and ex-police chief, via his post."Tingog's involvement is grounded in service, not politics.
"It is worth asking why Senator Dela Rosa is so fixated on attacking this program, which is designed to uplift underserved communities. Could this be an attempt to deflect attention from the House investigation into extrajudicial killings during his time as police chief?" asked the ranking congressman.
"His sudden concern for governance and ethics appears more like a smokescreen to distract from his own accountability," Acidre said.He further advised the senator to just"focus on addressing the lingering questions about his past and how it has affected the lives of countless Filipinos".
