Abalos is a former MMDA chairman. “I’m happy to note that said funds had already been transferred to the Bureau of the Treasury last month. Clearly, the two house committees and their Chairpersons Florida “Rida” Robes and Tobias “Toby” Tiangco had done an excellent job. The people’s will has won,” the solon said.
