Former Ako Bicol Party-list Representative Elizaldy “Zaldy” Co has just released the second part of his controversial video exposé—and this time, he’s not holding back.
In his latest statement, Co goes beyond his initial claim that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered him to stay out of the country. This new installment—filmed in what appears to be a secure overseas location—contains specific names, alleged financial records, and direct accusations against high-ranking officials tied to both the 2025 National Budget anomalies and the controversial flood control contracts linked to his company, Sunwest Corporation.
🔥 What’s in Part 2?
Direct Accusations Against Palace Insiders: Co claims that certain members of the President’s inner circle personally coordinated with him to “manage” infrastructure kickbacks under the guise of “development projects.”
Documents & “Receipts”: Co flashes several suitcases on camera, claiming they prove fund diversions and backroom deals involving multiple government agencies—particularly the DPWH and DBM.
The Real Reason He Stayed Silent: “They promised protection—not just for me, but for my family,” Co says in Tagalog. “But when the pressure came, I was thrown under the bus while they kept the money.”
Senate Hearing Fallout: Co directly addresses testimonies from contractors Curlee and Sarah Discaya, as well as former Bulacan engineers Alcantara and Hernandez, saying their statements were “coached” to shift blame entirely onto him.
A Call to Action: “This isn’t just about me. This is about every Filipino taxpayer whose money is being stolen while they’re told it’s going to flood control, roads, and hospitals,” Co declares.
🏛️ Malacañang’s Likely Response
Following Part 1, Malacañang dismissed Co’s claims as “baseless” and “desperate.” With Part 2 now out—and packed with more specifics—it’s expected that the Palace will hold another press briefing soon. Senatorial investigations may also intensify, especially with the Blue Ribbon Committee already deep into the budget probe.
⚠️ Reminder from Balitang Huli
As Claire Castro rightly pointed out: We must first verify whether these videos are authentic or possibly AI-generated. Our team is coordinating with digital forensics contacts to analyze Co’s footage. Until then, we report—but verify.
