Lawmaker’s camp welcomes investigation
ANGELES CITY — The camp of Representative Carmelo Lazatin welcomes investigation from any government body, third party, or any private citizen who wishes to look into the projects of the lawmaker.
IC Calaguas, chief of staff of Lazatin, made the statement following reports that the camp of Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan has sent a complaint letter to Commission on Audit Region III Assistant Commissioner Winnie Rose Encallado questioning the procurement of 30 multicabs, which were distributed to different villages in Pampanga’s first district, through Lazatin’s Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).
Calaguas said that while the complaint filed by known Pamintuan supporter and former Agapito Del Rosario barangay chairman John Sladky appears to be an attempt to distract from more pressing issues, such as the graft and corruption charges being faced by Pamintuan, Lazatin gladly welcomes any investigation.
“Congressman Lazatin respects the right of every taxpayer to inquire about where their taxes are being used so he welcomes any investigation of his projects,” Calaguas said.
“Rest assured, all the projects and programs funded by Congressman Lazatin’s pdaf are done above-board,” Calaguas added.
“Congressman Lazatin is open to any investigation because he has nothing to hide, although, we reiterate that the job of a congressman is limited to the identification of projects. Budget allocation and implementation are being done by other government agencies.”
The PDAF, commonly referred to as “pork barrel,” is allocated to every Member of Congress in order to aid them in implementing projects for their respective constituencies.
In case of projects funded by the PDAF, the role of the Members of Congress is limited to identifying the projects wherein the funds will be used.
Members of Congress do not handle the funds and the implementation of the project is taken on by the respective implementing agencies such as the Commission on Higher Education, the Department of Public Works and Highways, among others.
“This issue regarding Congressman Lazatin’s use of his PDAF is obviously political in nature because the complainant, John Sladky, is reportedly one of the controversial job orders of the City Government,” said Calaguas.
