MANILA, Philippines — Senator Imee Marcos expressed strong disapproval over the reduction of Vice President Sara Duterte's police security detail, urging for its immediate reinstatement. In a social media post on Tuesday, Marcos detailed the reasons for restoring Duterte’s security team. “Firstly, she is the second highest elected official in the country, and her safety should never be compromised. Secondly, she is a Duterte, known for her firm stance on law and order, just like her father, which makes her a prime target for the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army,” Marcos stated.

In its 2023 report, COA revealed that the city failed to utilize P1.456 billion from its disaster fund for the years 2022 and 2023. COA highlighted that this non-utilization undermines the fund’s purpose of bolstering disaster preparedness and response capabilities. The LDRRMF, intended to support disaster preparedness and mitigation projects, had P129,353,831.56 allocated in 2022 and an additional P1,455,856,661.59 in 2023. However, by the end of 2023, these funds remained largely unspent, with many projects still stuck in procurement or approval stages. This inaction has rendered the city’s annual investment plans ineffective, leaving it vulnerable to disasters. Legislative Framework and Fund Allocation Republic Act No. 10121, the “Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010,” mandates that at least five percent of...
