The senator on Tuesday reminded Cordoba anew not to give in to “political pressure” and to protect the COA’s integrity while observing its mandate “impartially.”
Among his other earlier positions during President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s administration were deputy executive secretary, appointments secretary, head of the Presidential Management Staff and board member of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. But Cordoba also noted that the DOH had asked the COA to conduct a special audit, as also requested by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank which provided loans to finance the country’s vaccination program.
