On Tuesday, AnaKalusugan Rep. Mike Defensor urged Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) official to explain the Lopez family‘s clearing of debts to President Rodrigo Duterte.
In the latest hearing of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability—DBP president and CEO Emmanuel Herbosa said it is legal to sell bad loans even without a certificate of eligibility from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
It further claimed the legality of the Lopezes’ loan.
If it is true that there was no irregularity in the selling of Lopez’s bad loans, then Defensor recommended to Herbosa to give Duterte an explanation about it.
“Bakit hindi nyo po kausapin ang Presidente at ipaliwanag kung ganyan ang inyong paniniwala,” Defensor advised DBP.
The probe against DBP and Lopezes began after Duterte’s allegation regarding the latter companies’ unpaid debts.
Duterte warned to block the Network’s franchise unless the Lopezes could settle their obligations with the government.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque’s release of the matrix of the alleged debts of Lopezes firms and transactions with DBP came after Duterte’s warning.
In the same hearing, DBP also is questioned why they sold the Lopezes’ loans even though it is still a good account.
