President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has ordered the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) to coordinate with authorities in Malaysia and Singapore to track down the air assets of resigned Ako Bicol Representative Zaldy Co.
In a video posted on his official Facebook account on Friday, Marcos said that the helicopters and aircraft allegedly linked to Co, registered under Misibis Aviation and Development Corporation, are currently subject to a freeze order from the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).
“Ang mga pag-aari na helicopter at saka eroplano ay mukhang doon tinatago ni Zaldy Co at nakarehistro po ito sa kanyang kumpanya na tinatawag ng Misibis Aviation and Development Corporation,” Marcos said.
The president emphasized that the government will not tolerate public assets being used to evade the law.
"Kailangan natin ipaalam sa lahat ng mga pugante, hindi pwedeng gamitin ang mga ari-arian na galing sa kaban ng bayan na ninakaw ninyo para tumakas o umiwas sa batas. You cannot steal from Filipino people and expect to hide or fly away on your private jets," Marcos said.
“You have the money to run, but you cannot outrun the Republic of the Philippines. Kaya kayong mga pugante, umuwi na kayo," he added.
He also issued a direct warning to those involved in alleged corruption or misappropriation of public funds: “Ang payo ko sa inyo, hindi na kayo turista, hinahabol na kayo ng batas."
In a related update, Marcos confirmed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has verified that former Department of Public Works and Highways Bulacan district engineer Henry Alcantara has returned P110 million to the government and is expected to return an additional P200 million within the next two weeks.
“This government intends to bring back every peso, every asset, every person responsible, and return it to the Filipino people,” Marcos said.
