ON the heels of the recall of Labor Attache to Los Angeles (LA) Macy Monique Maglanque, an organization of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the United States yesterday asked the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) to widen its investigation.
In a statement, the Tanggol Migrante Movement USA said: “Beyond Maglanque, Filipinos in the US are demanding accountability from all US-based public officials, who must be investigated for ties to corruption.”
Earlier, Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac announced that he recalled Maglanque, who was linked to MBB Global Properties being tagged in the flood control project controversies.
Cacdac said the recall order will allow Maglanque to return home and face investigation regarding the corruption-ridden flood control projects.
In a brief message to OFWs in Shanghai, China, Cacdac bared that Maglanque will not just face the probe by other government agencies but will also face a DMW inquiry.
“She will have to come home from LA, where she’s posted, and face investigations, not just the independent commission created by the President, but also our own administrative investigation at the DMW,” said Cacdac.
“I promise you, we vow to pursue the track of accountability here,” he added.
