Former PHIVIDEC Administrator Pompee La Viña dismissed corruption allegations raised by former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV against the Duterte family, characterizing claims involving ₱181.6 million as unverified and uncertified for court presentation.
La Viña urged government leadership to redirect focus toward addressing inflation, rising commodity prices, and local water shortages rather than uncorroborated political claims.
He asserted that the controversy is politically motivated to undermine Vice President Sara Duterte’s standing ahead of the 2028 elections.
