Davao City 3rd District Rep. Isidro Ungab on Wednesday urged the public to examine the context of figures cited in a report by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), particularly the timeline covered by the data.
Ungab said the reported ₱3.92 billion in transactions spans from 2005 to 2026, or a period of 21 years, and should not be directly attributed to a shorter period of public office. He noted that if the timeframe is limited to 2022 to 2026, which coincides with the term of Vice President Sara Duterte, the amount involved would be ₱63.8 million. Ungab stressed that assessments of accountability, including impeachment proceedings, should focus on the period of incumbency.
The lawmaker also called on the public to avoid being misled by figures presented without full context, emphasizing the need to focus on facts and accurate timelines. The AMLC has not yet issued a statement in response to Ungab’s remarks. -30-
