Transportation Sec. Bautista filed cyberlibel complaints against Manibela Chairperson Mar Valbuena and a journalist over corruption allegations.
MANILA — Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista on Tuesday filed cyberlibel complaints before the Department of Justice against Manibela Chairperson Mar Valbuena and a journalist over corruption allegations involving the modernization program of public utility vehicles.
“Marami silang accusation, ako daw ay tumanggap ng pera, suhol, which ay hindi naman totoo. Kaya gusto ko lang protektahan ang ating pangalan na inalagaan ko,” Bautista said. “Yung mga transport operators, nagtutulung-tulangan kami sa modernization program, napakaimportante mag-improve ng ating public transportation sa atin sa Pillipinas,” he said.The allegations of corruption against Bautista arose after former Land Transportation and Franchising and Regulatory Board executive assistant Jeffrey Tumbado revealed supposed anomalies within the agency.
“Alam niyo po yung kay Secretary Bautista... wag niyo po kami tinatakot. Alam mo kahit barilin mo ako ngayon, hindi ako natatakot sayo. Kahit kasuhan mo ako ng patong-patong na kaso, hindi ako natatakot sayo," said Valbuena.
