MANILA, Philippines — The Department of the Interior and Local Government on Friday described as “miscommunication” the absence of its representatives during the July 30 House inquiry on the plight of locally stranded individuals amid the COVID-19 crisis, spokesman and Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya said Friday.
“We wish to underscore that our absence was not and will never be intentional, but a result of miscommunication due to the fact that the DILG-Napolcom Center has been on lockdown since Monday,” Malaya said in a text message to reporters.
Malaya issued the statement in response to Anakalusugan Rep. Mike Defensor who fumed at DILG after its failure to send a representative during the House committee on governance hearing about the issues on stranded individuals.
