Nagsumite ng kanyang irrevocable resignation si Elizaldy Co bilang kinatawan ng Ako Bicol party-list sa Kamara de Representantes.
Sa tatlong pahinang sulat na ipinadala kay Speaker Faustino Dy III at House Committee on Ethics and Privileges chairperson JC Abalos, iginiit ni Co na sasagutin nito ang mga walang basehang alegasyon na ipinupukol sa kanya.
“On account of the real, direct, grave and imminent threat to the lives of my family members and me, and the evident denial of my right to due process of law, I am constrained to tender with immediate effect my irrevocable resignation as a member of the House of Representatives,” sabi ni Co.
Sa pagbibitiw ni Co, inaasahan na papasok ang ikatlong nominee ng Ako Bicol na si Atty. Jan Chan. Si Rep. Alfredo Garbin ang ikalawang nominee ng party-list group.
Taliwas umano sa pahayag ni Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco, sinabi ni Co na hindi totoo na siya ang mastermind ng budget insertion at realignment sa panukalang 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
“I did not mastermind, tolerate, or allow any supposed last-minute insertions and realignments in items in the 2025 GAA. All items in the 2025 GAA, including those stated in the corresponding Bicameral Report, were approved at plenary sessions and following the collegial process of both Houses of Congress,” punto ni Co.
“It is improbable, if not absolutely impossible, that I, on my own, could make any supposed insertions without the knowledge or approval of the members of both chambers of Congress,” dagdag pa nito.
Ayon kay Co, bago nilagdaan ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ang niratipikaang 2025 General Appropriations Bill ito ay sumailalim muna sa pagsusuri ng Malacañang.
