MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday assured the public that fugitive ex-lawmaker Zaldy Co will answer to the Filipino people, with the government set to send a "high-level coordination team" to the Czech Republic to oversee the process. Co, one of the alleged masterminds of a multibillion-peso flood control kickback scheme, has been out of the country since 2025, well before the corruption issue made headlines.
