00:01Ombudsman Boeing Remulia says Batangas Rep. Leandro Leviste is under investigation for selling his solar energy business to tycoon Manny Pangilinan.
00:09In a radio show, Remulia accuses Leviste of flipping solar Philippines after securing a franchise for solar microgrids during the Duterte administration.
00:17He adds, this issue is more significant than the Kathy Cabral files raised by Leviste, noting that the documents cited by the congressman were questionable.
00:25Remulia also alleged that Leviste's companies have a total of 84 canceled solar energy contracts so far, with major implications for the country's energy outlook.
00:34During an October Senate hearing on the Department of Energy Budget, Energy Undersecretary Rowena Guevara said 21 of Leviste's solar Philippines contracts were being processed for termination for failing to meet scheduled targets.
00:47Leviste in response says he will address all accusations when Congress resumes session on January 26.
