Philippines' Malacañang demands probe into how Rep. Leviste obtained disputed P401B DPWH budget files, denying their legitimacy.
Malacañang has called for an investigation into how Batangas Representative Leandro Leviste obtained the "Cabral files," alleged internal DPWH documents detailing budget allocations worth nearly P401.3 billion, after reports they were copied from a staff member’s computer.
While Leviste claims Secretary Vince Dizon authorized their release, Dizon denies knowledge of the documents and says Leviste obtained them unlawfully.
The Palace asserts illegally acquired evidence lacks legal standing, and no official verification has been provided.
Leviste challenges Dizon to authenticate the files, accusing the department of concealment.
The controversy unfolds amid broader scrutiny of infrastructure funding, with the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) advancing investigations into past projects and pushing for permanent oversight bodies.
