“All those who received must return the money, if it was a bribe and not intended for projects.â€
Despite radio survey results saying people don’t believe Bohol officials did not receive money from the recently exposed Malacañang bribery, Gov. Erico Aumentado reiterated what he said.
“Wa jod ko kadawat bisan usa ka dako gikan sa Malacañang (I did not receive a single centavo from Malacañang).â€
This was the public statement made by the governor during his regular Friday morning radio program Governor’s Report.
Aumentado said he was not with the meeting of Pres. Arroyo with the congressmen last Thursday.
He was attending the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) chairmanship turnover Thursday noon. From there he rushed to catch the 2:30 afternoon Philippine Airlines flight to Tagbilaran as the President was scheduled to visit Bohol the next day, Friday Oct. 12, he explained.
“As to the three congressmen, I cannot speak for them. But they were also with me in the same flight,†the governor added.
