MANILA, Philippines — The charge of grave misconduct and dishonesty against Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Carandang was “ill-founded” and demonstrated the “insincerity and hypocrisy” of the administration’s anti-corruption drive, an opposition lawmaker said on Tuesday. Thus, the charges of grave misconduct and dishonesty against ODO Carandang are ill-founded,” he said in a statement. Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said a case was filed against Carandang for grave misconduct and grave dishonesty for misuse and release of confidential and false information on the said accounts. “This just proves the insincerity and hypocrisy of the supposed anti-corruption drive of the administration,” he said. Trillanes accused Duterte and his family of conducing multimillion-peso transactions in their bank accounts and released documents to prove his point.
