MANILA — Newly appointed Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon expressed openness Wednesday to testifying again in forthcoming trials related to the flood control scandal, should he be called to the witness stand. The commitment reflects Dizon's continued involvement in legal proceedings against former lawmaker Zaldy Co and other individuals implicated in the controversy.
Dizon's willingness to participate in future Sandiganbayan hearings signals his readiness to support the judicial process despite his recent appointment to the Cabinet.
