In the middle of nationwide anti-corruption protests, a new headline emerges — this time from former congressman Mike Defensor, who fired a direct and personal accusation toward President Marcos Jr.

According to Defensor, the President allegedly used the “air assets” of businessman and solon Zaldy Co for three months during the 2022 presidential campaign. In his words, the helicopter featured in the photo was supposedly at the service of the Marcos campaign “buong kampanya.”

This allegation hits harder because Zaldy Co is not just any political figure — he was the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, a key gatekeeper of national funds. That committee, according to Defensor, became the staging ground for billions in questionable insertions alongside Speaker Martin Romualdez.

For Defensor, the connection is clear:

If the administration is claiming to be clean and uninvolved in the flood control mess, the campaign ties with Co cannot simply be ignored.

“Wag kang magmalinis,” he said.
“Pirma mo ang nag-release ng pondo.”

This revelation adds fuel to an already blazing public outrage. With billions allegedly lost to ghost projects, overpriced flood control initiatives, and relocation scams, the public sees the chopper issue not as a side story — but as another symptom of deeper systemic rot.

And while the administration insists on due process, patience, and caution, the people are demanding the opposite: transparency, accountability, and truth.

In a battle of narratives, the truth always finds altitude —
and sooner or later, it lands.

Passport Cancellation? Why the Whistleblower Seems to Move Faster Than the Accused

President Marcos announced that Zaldy Co’s passport will be cancelled once formal charges are filed. The statement comes after Co publicly revealed that a staggering P100 billion in budget insertions were allegedly ordered and delivered to specific political figures.

But the public quickly noticed the irony:
why is the whistleblower the first and only one being discussed,
while the names he mentioned remain untouched and unaddressed?

If the anti-corruption drive aims to be credible,
then all parties involved — especially those named by Co —
should undergo the same urgency.

Yet the messaging appears lopsided.
Co’s travels are scrutinized,
but the allegations he raised are still waiting for equally strong follow-through.

It’s a situation that invites satire,
because in the search for accountability,
the path seems to move faster toward the one who spoke
than toward the ones he spoke about.
