MindanaoToday.com | Magalong Receives Threats After Exposing Alleged Corruption
Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong has revealed receiving threats after exposing what he described as large-scale corruption involving government social amelioration funds.
Magalong claimed that the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA) was being manipulated as an “election fund,” with some lawmakers allegedly altering the bicameral committee report on the National Expenditure Program to serve political interests.
Concerned for his safety, Magalong sought verification from former military intelligence officer Allen Capuyan, who confirmed that the threats against him were credible.
A seasoned investigator and former chief of the police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), Magalong remains undeterred, saying he has faced many battles before. However, he admitted being worried about the safety of his family.
Rather than addressing the alarming allegations, Malacañang responded by challenging Magalong to produce evidence, dismissing his claims instead of taking steps to investigate the alleged misuse of public funds.
