MANILA, Philippines — Companies linked to resigned Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Elizaldy “Zaldy” Co tried to deregister three choppers from the Philippines to put these units up for sale, Public Works and Highways Secretary Vince Dizon said on Tuesday.
Dizon said that he received this information from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (Caap).
Deregistration is an act of removing an item from an official registry.
“Companies connected to Congressman Zaldy Co tried to deregister three choppers,” Dizon told reporters in an interview.
“What Caap told me is that the firms tried to deregister the units because they have plans to sell them, because you can’t sell them if you don’t deregister them first in the Philippines,” he explained.
